Wow! Is kissing really safe? ...you desire after you read
this post…yes! You decide!...Although there are no
lots of evidence to support the transmission of diseases but many modern
scientists have a different view on how healthy or safe kissing could be! Most
modern scientists have argued from a reasonable angle, they admit that kissing
could be complicated especially when a kissing partner has a cut in the mouth. Some
researchers have recently confirmed .........
that the chances of getting HIV through
kissing are extremely remote, and nobody has ever been infected through
kissing. However, if a kissing partner fluid has a contaminated blood
(including saliva), the risk of transmission exists.
Can I contract any other disease by kissing my partner? …oh
yes!
They are small
chances that you pick up something up by kissing….remember kissing is not
restricted to mouth only! Diseases like Hepatitis A could be contracted by
kissing some body parts of an infected unhygienic patient. Influenza and common
cold are also diseases that can be contracted through kissing an infected
person. Other diseases that can be transmitted includes mononucleosis, cold
sores (herpes virus), tuberculosis e.t.c
Hmmmm…….So what? Are you suggesting “It’s a full stop to
kissing?”
So now that you are
probably never going to kiss your partner again out of the fear of catching
these infections? …..it doesn’t sound that
bad…umh! …..let me assure you that kissing is safe only if you follow the
