What Is Kissing Disease?
Kissing disease is another name for mononucleosis, a contagious viral infection. The condition is very common, especially among young adults and teens. By the time people reach adulthood, they are less likely to get it because they have already built up the antibodies needed to prevent infection.
Mono spreads easily through the exchange of bodily fluid. The illness is often referred to as kissing disease because it is frequently passed from person to person through kissing, though there are other means of transmission.
