10 Causes of H Pylori

Cause Of H Pylori #5: Contaminated Saliva
Bacteria are also often found in our saliva, and these can be very easily spread from person to person. All it can take is a well-meaning kiss for a disease to be spread from one person to another. It can also be spread if somebody coughs, causing their saliva to be sprayed over surfaces or other people.
One bacterium that can be spread through saliva is H. pylori. It is generally a good idea that infected people wear a face mask to help prevent the disease from spreading. Or, at least, others should take necessary precautions to make sure that they are protected.
