Question: Do you think living with someone with mono means you might possibly get it!?
i used to have a roommate with it-
she said she got it from someone coughing around her-
she would always be tired all the time- slept so much-

i have slept for a long time for years-
but noticed myself more tired after living with her- lol-
but i was tested and i got strept throat once-
not mono-
but the symptoms are really similar-
but hopefully i wasn't misdiagnosed-
mono isn't something someone could die from-
but still i wouldn't want it-Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Infectious mononucleosis (mono) is often called the kissing disease!. The virus that causes mono is transmitted through saliva, so you can get it through kissing, but you can also be exposed through a cough or sneeze, or by sharing a glass or food utensil with someone who has mono!. However, mononucleosis isn't as contagious as some infections, such as the common cold!.

You're most likely to get mononucleosis with all the signs and symptoms if you're an adolescent or young adult!. Young children usually have few symptoms, and the infection often goes unrecognized!.

If you have mononucleosis, it's important to be careful of certain complications such as an enlarged spleen!. Rest and adequate fluids are key to recovery!.
