I’m still waiting on an answer to this question...

placidjackal36 said:HIV is transmitted through blood, not saliva. Period. Regarding that specific case—and I really wish someone would actually go out and get the facts straight—it was likely between two people who both had significant, open sores on their lips or inside their mouths.

A list, hmm? I suppose I ought to get one together.

It’s honestly bizarre. I’ve scoured the entire internet, and there isn't a single comprehensive list out there detailing the diseases transmitted via this specific route. You can't just find a centralized resource. If you want any actual information, you're forced to hunt through individual descriptions of how specific illnesses spread. It's incredibly inefficient.

I’m not just talking about a simple peck on the cheek here. I mean when tongues actually meet—when there's an actual exchange of saliva.

There has been only one documented case of HIV transmission through this method.
Mononucleosis—I am certain that spreads this way.
What about Hepatitis B and C? Is there any risk of transmission through oral contact?

What other diseases are passed on like this? My primary concern is the transmission of more serious illnesses.

Robin Robinson8 said:Johnson & Johnson has a wide range of uses, but let’s get one thing straight: it is primarily a corticosteroid. You can't just slather it on indefinitely. It isn't a permanent fix. You use it for a week, then you take a ten-day break, and you repeat that cycle. Period.
Scalp crusting can be anything from basic seborrheic dermatitis to full-blown psoriasis. I’d strongly suggest you see a dermatologist for some actual testing—maybe even a biopsy—so you aren't just guessing at what's going on. All these skin conditions tend to flare up when you're stressed out or dealing with an infection, so you really need to find a way to dial back the stress. Best of luck. 😍

I am the perfect candidate if you can actually manage to influence their visibility.👎

What does it actually mean when someone says Johnson & Johnson is a corticosteroid?🤷

I’ve done some reading on psoriasis, but honestly, I don't know the first thing about seborrheic dermatitis.🤷
Is seborrheic dermatitis really that big of a deal, or am I just overreacting?

Basically, these white scaly patches showed up about two months ago. I applied some Johnson & Johnson cream—the kind used for ringworm—maybe two or three times, and they cleared right up. But now, a single patch has flared back up right on my scalp. What am I looking at here? And what should I be using to treat it? I’m out of the Johnson & Johnson stuff, and more importantly, is it even safe to put that kind of cream on your scalp?

🤷

Ever since I quit, I feel significantly better. I went from drinking a liter a day to just a tiny splash every third day. My sleep quality improved, my senses feel sharper, and my blood pressure dropped back down to normal levels. Honestly, I don't believe there's anything worse than coffee out there... so why bother keeping even one single toxin in your system?

For me, coffee gives me an energy boost, but I’m pretty sure it spikes my blood pressure too. If I have two or three cups in a day, I definitely feel the effects when I try to go to sleep.
I’ve cut it out completely now, so we’ll see how it goes. I think I might miss that morning "wake up" feeling, but my blood pressure is more important. I'm only 26 and already dealing with minor blood pressure issues.
Coffee isn't the primary culprit here, obviously, but when you can't eliminate the main causes, you should at least get rid of the secondary ones.
