Captain Picard. He has his face in his hands because he's embarrassed to tell Riker that he gave him CMV by kissing him.
I don't kiss for this reason. Girls have cooties. Very serious.
no offense dude, but I was just curious: Are you seriously a medical student? have you even finished high school?
He's a medical student yeah - in India.
Fomites!! Fomites is...people!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah i m SERIOUSLY a medical student.and have finished high school..😀
anyway i asked the question coz we were studying contact diseases and every contact stuff was mentioned except that ONE..so i was wondering wether this act is not unhygienic or if it is why so common then..since now the people so precautious..🙄
It sounds like a question that someone who was in high school or early college. The only time early college is equivalen tot med school is outside of the US where you would enter medical school immediately from high school and have the first couple years be more like our college.
Clearly this is the most serious disease spread by kissing. Just ahead of cold sores and mono.
so do u guys study anatomy,embroyology,histology,biochemistry and physiology in early college???

No, we study life in addition to the course material of your choice. So by the time we're in med school, stuff like your question is already known and/or experienced, more through age and life-experience than coursework. The stuff you mentioned is learned in college only if you want to, and it's properly learned in context over 6mo in the first year of med school. I'm not saying either system of education is better in producing doctors honestly. Just your question belies age/experience more than education.
In the US we prefer using plastic wrap while kissing as to prevent any chance of disease transmission. You just have to be careful when the tongue action gets heavy because it's easy to have some accidental leakage. I'm sure this practice will eventually catch on everywhere and that's probably why they aren't teaching you that route of transmission. Your Profs are just way ahead of the curve. 🙄
ok..sorry.. i think there was a bit flaw in ma question..i just edited it.. well wat i wanted to ask was wy pple dont care although they know vry well of the consequence..or there exists a safe method?? plz no offence,
Well, kissing is fun and intimate, and most people don't kiss each other when they're coughing or have open sores on their lips. Mono and HSV and other infections tend to be spread via kissing when the person is asymptomatic, but unknowingly shedding virus.
I just figured out how much i dislike reading "text message" english
I was kissing a homeless man the other day, and we both had gaping wounds on our mouths, and I was like "aw, **** yo~"
