At most family get-togethers, there’s always a line-
up of uncles, aunts and second cousins twice
removed waiting to plant a big, wet kiss on
your lips.
Yes, family time is kissing time, but health-wise
you'd be much better off if you offered your
cheek or settled for a friendly handshake. But
if you only knew how many germs lurk in one
kiss . . .
THE HERPES VIRUS : If you're handing kisses out
to all you come across, you could end up with
a cold sore.
COLDS AND FLU : Sharing a kiss is the perfect way
to contract an upper respiratory tract infection
such as a cold.
THE ART OF THE OFFERED CHEEK :
Don't feel obliged kiss every single friend or
family member who crosses your path, says
etiquette expert Anne Dreyer, “Kissing is each
person's personal choice. It's acceptable to
offer your cheek or shake hands.” Dreyer says
time for over-kissers to realise nowadays
people can choose whether or not they want to
kissed. “I simply refuse or offer my cheek. If
that doesn't work, I develop a fake cold on the
spot, claiming a no-kissing policy so as not to
infect anyone.”
