Sharing Food As A means of Tranmission

[cmt2]

Dear Community,

Please be patient with me. I know better but I need affirmation. I was coerced to share a cookie with someone today, and bit of the same spot that she had. Is there any risk of exposure from digesting food that was chewed by another person. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Yes I m referring to that case , the one Vance had mention ...as it's involved the per_chewed food for person to child mouth ...

The case I assume you are refering to is from a mother in Africa with a baby who's immune system was not developed yet. For anyone over the age of 1 it is not a risk.
