Rampent Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 You can pass on all sorts of things with kissing, although most of them aren't 'germs', they're viruses. All sorts of cold and flu viruses pass from body to body easily (although they pass from nose to hand to nose mucosa more effectively) and things like glandular fever (what the Americans call 'mono', AKA infective mononucleosis) pass efficiently too, to the point that glandular fever, caused by the Epstein Barr virus, is also called 'kissing disease' in some cultures. If her (or your) hygiene isn't great then all sorts of gastric bugs can also be spread by kissing. They're spread by faecal oral contamination, but not washing your hands adequately after going to the loo and then rubbing your face can be a very good way of passing them around. Am I making you feel any better yet? Dr Medusa has spoken and I feel even worse Hand to mouth the old lady looked less than hygienic. She had rusty nails. I will seek Dr Hem's shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliceBB Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I never wanted to kiss the old dear because I have morals and I am not into necrophilia. Useless attempt at humour or simply patronising, ageist garbage? Who knows. I hope the woman didn't catch anything nasty from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
