i was wondering if i got disease/illness from other people saliva..when will it possibly start showing the symptom of the disease/illness.
Hmm to be serious i am quite fine..i don’t really have any disease/illness symptom.just curious..cause i just swallow a single drop of my friend saliva T.T ~

i still have a question..if i used my friend thermometer used by her family(inculding herself)..if her family got disease/illness will i get their disease too? However when i use the thermometer they long time no use already will there still be any chance of disease/illness carried by the thermometer still be at the surface of the thermometer/in the thermometer?

i used my friend’s thermometer and she keep telling me not to put it in my mouth but i have no choice cause my school want me to put it in my mouth..so i was wondering why..? And now i think of it could it be some disease or illness in the thermometer/surface of the thermometer? But before i use the thermometer i washed it with cold water but only for a short while. Could there be any possible serious disease or illness i will get?
But when i use the thermometer that time my friend didn’t use it..it dry..
i am not sure did her family use or not but when i take the thermometer from her..the thermometer is simply dry..
if i am not wrong..after i use the thermometer i did not swallow any of my own saliva..i immediately go wash my mouth will this lower the chance of getting this disease or illness.
This is what i gotten from her today..she said that the thermometer is used by all her family..and inculding her..however the thermometer is long not used by them already..will this lower the chance of my getting disease or illness?

I have had trouble getting words out, it feels like a twisted tongue. My mouth also feels dry sometimes but I have plenty of saliva. I know it’s a psychosomatic symptom but I’ve had it for over a year, and it’s extremily bothersome.

I just moved into a new apartment about 2 months ago and have found bed bugs in there. I haven’t been in any hotels, or have had many people over, and my furniture is new so I know the bugs came from the apartment. Is it the apartments responsibly to get rid of them? I learned I am allergenic to the saliva of the bugs and break out in hives, so I cannot even stay there while the bugs are there, would they also need to take $$ off my monthly rent or put me in a hotel. Thanks.
