Facing the cute little doll, I believe many people seem to have no resistance.
I always want to tease, pinch, and kiss to interact with the little doll.
But sometimes, just such a kiss may hide unexpected dangers.
In the news, you can always see various examples of babies being infected by kissing babies.

The cause is that the mother suffers from “mouth sores” on the corner of her mouth, and the virus is passed on to the child through kissing.
All kinds of news have frightened many parents. Will the kiss really cause such serious consequences?
Is mother’s kiss really that scary?
Actually, the kissing of these news is just an isolated case. In most cases, a mother’s kiss does not make her child sick.
