What Is Mononucleosis?
8. Prevention
One way to avoid catching mono is to avoid kissing other people, but this is not always practical. However, we can at least try and avoid kissing other people that are clearly not well. We can also take precautions by avoiding other ways in which a person’s saliva might infect us.
This tends to mean avoiding sharing food with other people. Also make sure to avoid sharing cutlery, crockery, and drinking vessels, or at least make sure such items are thoroughly washed in between uses. If you are ill yourself, then you should try and take precautions that will help prevent other people from becoming infected.
