6. IT CAN CAUSE CAVITIES.
Because kissing can expose you to bacteria found in your partner’s dental plaque and cavities, according to Reynolds, cavities are considered contagious. And that’s regardless of whether a partner’s breath seems minty fresh, since anyone you kiss can pass an oral infection.
7. IT CAN TRIGGER A SERIOUS ALLERGIC REACTION.
Some 12 percent of people who kiss someone who’s eaten a food they’re allergic to will experience an allergic reaction, according to a Swedish survey on kissing with food allergies. You’re more likely to experience a reaction when your partner’s just eaten a food you can’t tolerate — but your sensitivity depends on the severity of your allergy, as do your symptoms, which can include hives, facial swelling, shortness of breath, and vomiting that can occur within minutes of exposure. It’s why it’s smart to make sure your partner is aware of your allergies before locking lips.
