What Is Mono?
8. Prevention
Maintaining good hygiene will go a long way towards preventing mono infections. It is important to wash your hands regularly with soap and water. Using soap is important because the soap helps to dissolve the lipid layer that protects viruses. Washing your hands regularly will help to protect you not only against mono, but also a wide array of other diseases.
You should also try and avoid sharing items with other people, particularly crockery, cutlery, and drinking vessels. Avoiding kissing other people that appear to be ill can also help. People that are ill should also try and isolate themselves as much as reasonably possible to help prevent spreading the disease further.
