Risk of disease caused by pet kissing

Many people love their pets so much that they don't stop kissing them. However, scientists have warned that pet kissing will make us infected.

Research on this issue is directed by Professor Nigel France at Massey University, New Zealand. Professor Massey said: "We are looking at the risks that livestock can pose in the transmission of bacterial diseases. This is determined by the World Health Organization as a very community problem. big and growing '.

In addition, the professor said the incidence of two antibiotic-resistant bacteria led to an increase in urinary tract infections.

Do not lick your dog or cat pet on your face completely

It is known that antibiotic-resistant infections have been found in most domestic pets and that the bacteria are spread through urine and feces.

Professor explains: 'Animals clean their urination parts by licking it. So they easily carry bacteria from the stool and urine into the mouth. Then they licked up on people. And that's how bacteria are transmitted. '

This shows that you absolutely should not lick your pet dog or cat on your face. If the animal licks your hand, you should wash your hands the next day. And remember not to be too intimate with your pet.

Previous studies have also shown that animal rearing on the owner 's face can spread gum disease to people who raise them.

If not treated promptly, gum disease will develop badly into periodontitis (a disease of mouth tissue inflammation) that seriously affects the jaw.
