Everyone around me is coming down with mono - is there something I can take?

[The Fake Shemp]

I can't afford to catch it.

First, my best friend got it.  Then my aunt.  Then my co-worker/buddy.  Now my sister.  I feel like there's a circle of mono trying to come at me from all sides!  Is there some basic defense against mono other than avoiding people entirely?

aids. let me give them to you.

You should avoid making out with your buddy, sister, and aunt.

[The Fake Shemp]

But not my co-worker?

I came to post that.

wait until a tornado comes around and JO with them. but no gay stuff.

Depends, post some pics.

Well, I don't think any of those folks got it from their significant others - some don't have one in their case.  That's what scares me.  Where did this invisible source of mono come from?  Is it some kind of mutated mono more resistant than ever?  This is like the movie Outbreak.

BUT WORSE.

[Bocsius]

If they didn't get it from their significant others, it means they got it from someone they were seeing on the side.

Is it really mono and not just the flu or something?

The best defense is just to avoid it.  It's viral so taking antibiotics won't make you immune or anything.  You can basically treat the symptoms once you have it.  Humans kinda suck with viruses.

Someone in my social circle is hosting makeout parties and I'm not getting invited.  I am not pleased.

i'm always surprised by how openly people share their food/drinks here with others where in the US/canada it was always like "no you can't have a sip of my drink, i could get mono"

so maybe they're like the filthy euros and got it from sharing drinks

[pilonv1]

stop riding monorails

Slather your forehead in Head On and pray for the best.

No, they've all been diagnosed with mono.

This.  Cover every part of your body in plastic.

You'll just have to start kissing strangers to build up your immunities. Given where you work, it'll be a breeze!

The one thing they all seem to have in common is you. I suspect you are patient zero, spreading pestilence and disease wherever you go.
