Can little kids catch mono?!


Question: I was diagnosed with mono about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and I've been taking vitamens. I feel as good as normal, and the doctor said it was ok for me to go back to school and work. But I just realized I'm supposed to help in the nursery tomarrow, I'm contagous through my saliva, but I was woundering if I wash my hands with soap and water could I pass it on to them. (under 1 year olds). Can kids get it, or only teenagers?

my mom had mono when she was 3, but i doubt she got it from kissing...i wouldnt go just to be safe

anyone at any age can catch mono.... because it is when the germs from one humans body mix with another humans body and they create a disease.... that being anyone can transfer mono

Kids can definitely get it. Infants are sometimes even more likely to contract it because their immune system is not fully developed. If you're even a little worried about, I wouldn't put the kids in jeopardy because I'm sure you would feel bad about infecting them! Take the week off and come back when you're feeling 100% confident :)

anyone can get it. long ask u wash your hands alot. and not get any bodily secretions on the kids and dont breathe ALL over them. they should be fine. and yes anyone can get mono.
