@alleycatkate.....I love dogs....still Mourn the passing of our daughter’s pug 2 years ago. But am grossed out when George the pug mixture who was rescued from humane society licks and kisses daughter right on lips. The Milwaukee newspaper had articles about people loosing limbs after acquiring this rare but vicious bacteria transmitted Thru kissing their dogs. The new amputees were not immunocompromised. I shared the articles with daughter....to no avail.tdrell

@tdrell, @alleycatkate, @heathert, I just saw a program last night where a guy got tapeworms from his puppy that would kiss him on the mouth. The puppy was treated for , but not him right away because he didn't know he had them. One got into his spleen and turned into a cyste. 40 years pass and the cyste became malignant and his liver enlarged 10 times the size it should have been. This caused other serious health issues which cleared up once the spleen was removed. So, yes, kissing dogs on the mouth is gross and can be dangerous.
