A member asked:
Is it possible for kissing to cause cancer of the throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Herpetic infections can me transimitted to open wounds via salivary contact. Many other host diseases can be transmitted to others through direct contact. Grandparents or parents with oral diseases transmit them to the children. Families enjoy much the same bacteria. Avoid infected people.. Especally kissing or other direct contact. If you are infected don't kiss around.
