Got mono?
To the Editors:
On my lawyer's advice, I'm afraid I cannot comment on allegations raised by Ian Morrison in "A diagnosis of mono and a secret transaction," published in last week's Orient. As a college health professional, however, I do feel obligated to point out that, for those suffering with mono, sex is in fact not contra-indicated. Kissing, of course, must be avoided, as should any bone-crushing engagement that rises to the level of a contact sport and endangers one's spleen. From a strictly medical stand-point, though, non-romantic, meditative sex is permissible during this illness.
