If you kiss a girl, can you get meningococcal?

If she carries it: Meningococcal germs are carried in the oral secretions of those who are unaffected carriers or those who will later show signs of the disease.The germ can live outside the body for a while on objects & pass from object to fingers to nose to infect the next person. Clusters of cases often occurred in military recruit centers or college dorms prior to wide vaccine use.
