What are the five means by which pathogens can be transmitted?
Direct Transmission - person-to-person contact.Certain diseases are spread by physical contactwith an infected person. Examples are syphilis, gonorrhea, and scabies. Indirect Transmission - person-to-object contact. (1) Droplets, air, and dust. (2) Fomites. Articles contaminated with disease germs from an infected person may become vehicles of disease transmission if a susceptible pers them. Examples of fomites are con taminated clothing, bed linen, and eating utensils Airborne Transmission - droplet infection Aerosol, Spray, or Spatter Perenteral Transmission - through the skin as a cut Blood-borne Transmission - direct or indirect contact with blood or other body fluids Food and Water Transmission Oral-Fecal Transmission

Can you get crohn disease from kissing?
No Transmission is difficult. Even by the usual route - a bite from an infected tick - it is commonly quoted that the tick needs to be attached for an entire day for infection to be passed on to the person. Sexual transmission is anecdotally reported - but there is no medical proof for this (although this could be due to lack of research rather than lack of validity!). The one human-human transmission that is commonly recognised is from mother to foetus. If you are worried about any symptoms you may have, see your family doctor / GP. Lyme disease is simple if treated early but can have a lasting effect on the patient if the diagnosis is missed. Hope that helps, enjoy the kissing!
