10 Diseases You Can Catch By Kissing Someone

Influenza

Influenza can spread easily via droplets from an already infected person who coughs, sneezes, talks, or….kisses you. Some of its symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and tiredness. However, it’s not an extremely serious disease, as most of the people who have been affected by influenza usually recover on their own in less than two weeks.

Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is a very infectious disease of the liver, caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Only in the United States, there are around 2.4 million Americans who are suffering from this infection, it’s the most common blood-borne infection and 1% of the adult population has it. Hepatitis C is typically spread through contact with infected blood or passed from mother to baby during pregnancy.

Occasionally, it can be spread via intercourse or kissing. The course of an HCV infection is extremely unpredictable, as the virus can suddenly disappear in some people, while in others it can be rather persistent. In a third scenario, it can advance to a life-threatening illness in others. Treatment is extremely mandatory the minute a person shows signs of liver inflammation.
