Question:

Do most people get mono at least once in their life time?

i mean...like..is it something really common that most people end up getting at least once in their lifetime?


Answers:

"The disease whose medical name is infectious mononucleosis is most common in people 10 to 35 years old, with its peak incidence in those 15 to 17 years old. Only 50 people out of 100,000 in the general population get mono, but it strikes as many as 2 out of 1,000 teens and twenty-somethings, especially those in high school, college, and the military."

apparently it's not as common as people think. I know at least 10 people who have had mono, including myself.
