#1 MONONUCLEOSIS
Otherwise known simply as “Mono,” this virus is transferred through saliva. This makes kissing a perfect way to transfer this disease.Symptoms are very similar to those of the flu and include a fever, sore
throat, fatigue, muscle weakness and swollen lymph glands. While no treatment for mononucleosis exists, resting, staying hydrated and taking over-the-counter pain medications often help. Young people are usually St higher risk of contacting this disease

#2 COLD SORES
Although they are harmless, cold sores can be embarrassing, and they’re actually a form of herpes. So if you are part of those who can’t do without kissing, then you are at a high risk of getting this disease.
It’s transmitted through direct contact between an infected area and broken skin or a mucous membrane. Symptoms aren’t usually visible.

#3 HAND AND MOUTH DISEASE
This disease is most common among children, but it can also occur in adults. It’s transferred by kissing, and it results in discoloration of the hands, mouth, and feet.

#4 Strep Throat

Strep throat is another disease that can be caused by kissing. It can also be transferred through the air when someone sneezes.

#5 Meningitis

Kissing can lead to viral Meningitis. This type is less dangerous than other forms of Meningitis, and can be also be caused by polluted air. Many types of viruses can cause viral meningitis, which is serious but less severe than bacterial meningitis. This disease can be spread from one person to another via respiratory secretions.
Symptoms include fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea and vomiting. Though there are no medications for viral meningitis, people with healthy immune systems usually get better on their own. If you just love kissing unhindered, then you are closer to getting infected that you probably know.

#6 MUMPS
Although you can avoid getting the mumps by using a simple vaccine, many people still get it. This is most usually caused by kissing. is a viral infection that affects the salivary glands, causing them to swell. It usually spreads via airborne droplets from the nose or throat of an infected person. Easily preventable by vaccine, this disease is no longer as common as it once was, though outbreaks in unvaccinated groups still sporadically occur. Symptoms include headache, nausea, fever, loss of appetite. Recovery usually takes two weeks.

#7 PERIODONTISTS
This disease can be caused by kissing, as it effects the gums. It can get so bad that your teeth begin to loosen. Germs and plaques live in our mouths, and can be reduced by flossing, however sometimes thoroughly, plaque can build up under the gum line and cause gum disease. Though gum disease (also known as periodontitis and gingivitis) does not spread through kissing, the bad bacteria that cause it can. Brushing and flossing your teeth regularly is your best defense.

#8 RUBELLA: Otherwise known as the German measles, rubella is a contagious disease caused by a virus transmitted through an infected person’s sneeze or cough.
Symptoms only show up in half of people who get rubella and are usually mild, most people are unaware of the symptoms. They include a fever and rash and clear up in two to three days. The rubella vaccine can prevent this disease.

Keep your mouth clean, fresh and healthy……
