Kissing helps protect your unborn baby

If you enjoy those mouth to mouth kisses then there's an even stronger reason why you should not stop kissing. Scientists believe that kissing helps spread germs which build up immunity to illness. Scientists say that kissing allows a bug named Cytomegalovirus, which is dangerous in pregnancy, to pass from man to woman to help her build up protection against it. This bug is found in saliva and causes no problems but it can be extremely dangerous if caught while pregnanancy and can even cause the death of unborn babies or even cause birth defects. The scientists also say that kissing the same person for about six months provides the best protection.
