Are there potential health risks if you kiss too much? Who is not suitable for kissing? How to kiss healthily? Focusing on these issues, on June 13, Jiupai News interviewed Li Jing, director of pediatrics and chief physician of the Yangluo Campus of the Third People's Hospital of Hubei Province (Zhongshan Hospital of Hubei Province). She specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of children's respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia, asthma, and recurrent respiratory infections.
"If (the kissing parties) have no problem with their immunity, (too much kissing) is not a problem." She also emphasized that medically speaking, some infectious diseases will be spread through saliva when kissing, mainly "kissing disease." , in addition to some respiratory diseases (such as colds) and other viral infections (such as influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc.).
"Kissing is human instinct and a common way of intimacy between men and women. But kissing should be done in a certain way." She reminded that before kissing, you should pay attention to your physical health and the way you kiss.
【1】Kissing disease: The infection rate of Epstein-Barr virus in adults reaches 90%
Li Jing introduced that "kissing disease" is also called infectious mononucleosis, which is caused by infection with Epstein-Barr virus (a herpes virus). Its main symptoms are Fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and some people may also suffer from hepatosplenomegaly.
"EB virus infection accounts for 90% of adults, which is very common." Li Jing told Jiupai News that although the proportion is so high, not everyone will have these symptoms. Epstein-Barr virus is very cunning. After infection, it will lie dormant in the human body and become ill when the person's immunity is weakened.
She emphasized that infants and young children themselves are physiologically immunocompromised. Adults may introduce the virus to children when they kiss or feed them mouth-to-mouth.
In February this year, Jiupai News reported that Wang Shuo (pseudonym), a two-year-old left-behind child in Hubei Province, developed persistent high fever and severe swelling of neck lymph nodes and eyes, and was later diagnosed with kissing disease (also known as "kissing disease"). "kissing disease").
During the consultation, Li Jing learned that Wang Shuo's grandmother was worried that her child would choke on the peanuts if they eat them, so she chewed the peanuts into pieces and fed them to her child. The examination found that Wang Shuo's grandmother was carrying the Epstein-Barr virus, although she did not show any symptoms.
In this regard, Li Jing explained: "Adults have a higher carrying rate of EB virus, but because adults have stronger immunity, the virus is often carried in adults without clinical symptoms."
[2] Kiss Promote dopamine secretion, but it should be moderate
"Kissing will increase the body's dopamine secretion and make people feel happy, which will have a good impact on people's immunity and psychology." Li Jing said that when people are depressed, When you're stressed out, a little kiss can release all the unpleasantness and stress. In addition, it also has a positive effect on improving interpersonal relationships.
However, it is recommended that you can kiss when you are healthy. If you are not healthy, you should still respect science and avoid it.
At the same time, she also pointed out, "Different kisses have different effects on disease transmission, so we need to treat them on a case-by-case basis."
She told Jiupai News that the highest risk is deep kissing, and the lower risk is Kissing like a dragonfly, that is, kissing gently. Normal kissing is between light kissing and deep kissing, and the risk is also between the two.
"Because a deep kiss takes a long time and the force is strong, it may cause damage to the oral mucosa. If the other party carries bacteria or viruses, it can be transmitted to the other party through the damaged mucosa or blood."
[3] 6 types of situations are not allowed Suitable for kissing
A 2014 study published in the journal Microbiome estimated that a kiss lasting 10 seconds would result in the exchange of approximately 80 million bacteria in the oral cavity of both parties.
During the interview, Li Jing told Jiupai News that for health reasons, kissing is not suitable under the following six types of circumstances:
1. When immunity is relatively poor. If the person you are kissing has immunity problems, it may cause infection;
2, if you are sick. For example, if you have symptoms such as sore throat, sneezing, fever, etc., and you have obvious respiratory tract infection, it is not suitable to kiss. Pay attention to maintaining physical distance, hand hygiene, and wearing a mask;
3. When you have obvious oral diseases. Such as oral herpes, periodontitis or red and swollen gums;
4, infants and young children. Because of their congenital low immune function, they may be infected with viruses when kissed or fed mouth-to-mouth by adults;
5, hepatitis (such as hepatitis B) or some sexually transmitted diseases (such as AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital warts) virus carriers. These diseases are originally transmitted through sex, blood, or mother-to-child transmission, but if the kissing partner carries these viruses and has oral ulcers or damage to the oral mucosa, or excessive force during the kiss leads to bleeding, mucosal damage, and blood exposure, , all have potential risks of infection.
6, Helicobacter pylori (hp) infection. Helicobacter pylori is an important factor causing acute and chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, erosive gastritis and even gastric cancer. It can also be transmitted through kissing.
