How do you get mono / symptoms - sore throat, swollen glands Posted: 08-18-07 14:57pm
My room mate in my apartment just got back
from the doctor, where he diagnosed her
with a viral infection. Her symptoms are
sore throat, swollen glands, and fatigue.
He told her if her symptoms do not clear
up with an antibiotic and a steroid that
she should come back for a mono test.
Enter scary scenario.
I let her have a sip of my drink two days
prior to this. She didn't have any
symptoms either.
It was just a sip. I know the most common
way of acquiring mono is through kissing,
but would a sip do anything? I am a
sophomore in college and VERY serious
about school... I can't afford to miss any
school, and classes have not even
started.
My question is, are the odds slim that I
would contract mono from her, if she has
it, through a simple sip of a drink? I'm
a pretty healthy, active person who takes
vitamins... so I hope my slip up doesn't
harm me.
