The Signs Of Mononucleosis

Mononucleosis, also known as the kissing disease or just 'mono,' is an infectious and contagious illness. As the name suggests, it's a disease individuals can catch through kissing, but it's also spreadable through other mouth-swapping activities, like sharing utensils or drinks. In other words, mono usually spreads through saliva, including spit from a cough. As a general rule, if something an infected individual used is still wet, the virus is still present. Though it is a contagious disease, mononucleosis is less likely to spread than the common cold. If indivduals contract mono, it's usually not serious, but serious complications can occur.
