Most people who see cute babies feel pity and can't help but want to go up and kiss their babies. However, kissing a baby is simple, and most people are unaware of the potential hidden dangers. Here are some examples of harm caused by kissing your baby:
On July 1, 2017, a baby girl born only 18 days in Iowa, USA, was infected with the herpes virus due to the kiss of her family, which caused severe meningitis, which invaded the baby's parotid glands, brain and lungs. Not only abroad, but also in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, there have been similar cases, a 2-year-old baby girl was kissed by her mother's friend, and there were complications such as crooked mouth and eyes, fever, facial paralysis and other complications that night, which were examined to be infected with EBV, which was directly related to the kiss of adults. It was because of the kiss of the adult that the child almost died. It can be seen that some unhealthy kisses will bring fatal dangers to children.
What is the cause of such a terrible kiss?
This is a disease caused by Epstein-Barr virus, commonly known as kissing disease, which is a contagious mononucleosis caused by EPV infection. "Herpes simplex virus" can be transmitted through kissing, saliva and other ways, which is not harmful to adults, but it is fatal to infants, causing infants' tonsils to become inflamed to suppuration and difficulty breathing. It is highly occurring in infants and young children and is transmitted through human contact.
It can be seen that "kissing disease" is very harmful to the baby, often bringing irreversible consequences. Then the father and mother should pay attention to it, and the kisses of the following kinds of people are terrible:
1. People with oral diseases
There are hundreds of pathogens in people's mouths, people with oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth decay, pulpitis, etc., there may be more germs in the mouth, if the mouth kisses the baby, the baby with weak resistance is likely to suffer from kissing disease. So parents have to pay attention.
2. People infected with EBV
How can I tell if I am infected with EBV? If the body often has symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and inflammation of the tonsils, consider whether you are infected with EBV. At this time, do not kiss the child or chew up food to feed the child, otherwise it will infect the baby.
3. People suffering from colds and flus
There are many pathogens in the body of people with colds, which are easily transmitted to the baby through the mouth, resulting in pneumonia, otitis media and other diseases that are difficult to treat. And the initial symptoms of kissing disease are similar to colds, in case the baby is infected with EBV, it is difficult for parents to distinguish the difference between colds and EBV infections. So don't let people with colds kiss their babies either.
4. People with diarrhea
Diarrhea is due to intestinal infections, such as infection with Helicobacter pylori, such germs may enter the intestine through the mouth, so people with diarrhea may have such bacteria in their mouths. Kissing your baby will infect your baby.
5. People with rash or rash
Babies are immunocompromised and difficult to resist viruses. People who develop a rash may have an attack of measles, and children are susceptible to infection with these viruses and develop measles. Parents must pay attention to do not have such symptoms of people kissing the baby, otherwise it is difficult to treat.
