Can I Get Mono Twice?

Many Dr's will argue that a person cannot get Mono twice. I have had mono and when you have had it once you know when you have it again. I've had it twice.

Some Dr's agree there is chronic mono and a person can have it more than once.

In many people, the illness is mild, and may never be diagnosed as mono. Infection by EBV generally results in lifelong immunity—you can only have EBV mono once. There’s also a less common form of mononucleosis, caused by infection by cytomegalovirus (CMV).

In one study of people with mono, about one out of seven had mono caused by CMV; the rest had typical EBV mononucleosis. Catching and recovering from EBV mono offers no protection against CMV mono, and vice versa. Few people get mono from CMV.

Most people are infected with CMV at some point in life, and experience only mild, short-lived symptoms. After that, they are generally immune to CMV mono or other illnesses caused by CMV.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
