Rubella

Rubella, which is also known as German measles, is an illness caused by the rubella virus. While it’s usually a mild illness, it can get very serious if pregnant women and their developing babies catch it. If a pregnant woman gets rubella, she might have either a miscarriage or a stillbirth.

Rubella spreads by contact with saliva or mucus in the mouth, throat, or nose of someone who’s already infected. Sharing food, drinks, cigarettes, or kissing someone who’s already sick and has the virus can put you at risk. Its symptoms include having a sudden rash, fever, joint aches, headache, discomfort, runny nose, and even irritated eyes.

  1. Frustrating, deceiving, time consuming teasers for : amusement, financial gain, nonscence after awhile after realization.

    1. Babies are not classified as a kind of disease. And it takes a lot more than kissing to cause babies! 🤣

  2. You told us we could catch diseases but you didn’t tell us the treatment.??? So, kiss and get diseases or dnt kiss if you dnt want the diseases? #%^%#==^!@$%??,

  3. Well then, everyone should just stay away from everyone and never date or marry. The human race should die out anyway
