Hi I have a question about mono. My friend was diagnosed with it about two weeks ago and today I accidently put a candy bar in my mouth that he had in his mouth..I didnt realize he had had the food in his mouth but when he told me a couple of seconds later, I quickly spat it out. I know mono can spread with saliva, am I definitly going to get the disease now?
Hi thanks for asking question here. Ya infectious mononucleosis can spread through saliva. You are prone for infection with history suggested. But it is not always surely that you will get infection. Chances of getting infection is depended on your immunity. Avoid stress. During this incubation stage of disease try to keep your immunity high. Take nutritional diet with more fruit and protein. We are happy to help you for further query if you have. Thanks.
