40,000 Parasites + 250 Bacteria = 1 French Kiss.

Keep your diseases to yourself. - Here's an "Aww Gross!" oddity for you.

Ananova™ reports:

Scientists say more than 40,000 parasites and 250 types of bacteria are exchanged during a typical French kiss.

The study says couples also exchange 0.7 grams of protein, 0.45 grams of fat and 0.19 grams of other organic substances.

LOL!

Well, if that doesn't turn you off...

Who am I kidding. If the threat of some 30+ STD's and even death doesn't turn off a world bent at the altar of sexual gratification than a little French Kiss certainly won't.

Gee. Here I thought I found a funny oddity, only to find that I depressed myself.

Thanks a lot, Hal.
