How dog kisses on mouth affect one's health

Dr Chris Clegg, a veterinarian from Peninsula Veterinary, shared with Briefly News that there are always risks concerning direct contact from a dog's mouth to humans.

"Zoonosis are diseases that spread from animals to humans and include viruses, bacteria and parasites. Because dogs don't practice good hygiene and often lick their rear end, ingest faeces and other such things certainly are a risk of bacterial contaminants lurking in their mouth."

The doctor added:

"There are the more common pathogens like E. coli, but the list of bacterial and viral diseases dogs can be carrying that one doesn't always know about is long.

"If the human has any immune compromised, the risk is often increased for a spread where the immune system may be overwhelmed and get sick from it."
