Um, I don't know much about mono, I haven't really looked into it... is it a bacteria related thing, ie, are there antiobiotics associated with mono?  

 I know for bronchitus, they said that after 24 hours of taking my antibiotics, I would not longer be contagious, and I could go to school.  So I don't know if that would be the same for mono or not... And if mono is viral, then I have no clue...


mono is viral
you need medication

and it takes a while to not be contagious
and your not allowed in school while it is still contagious


Haha, alright, thanks for the heads up.  Of course you definitely won't be allowed in the school while it's still contagious, but I just didn't know how long that would take for mono.

its not infectious so whenever i guess...
 

 um.  
 yes it is.  
 its actually pretty contagious.


oh... then what the hell am i thinking of that begins with mono and isnt contagious?


i couldn't tell you

also to the OP,
you probably are not allowed in school until you are not contagious
you need medication from the doctor
and it may take over a week for you to not be contagious

it is only contagious if u drink after a person who has ro kiss someone who has it. and a few other ways. but most of the time u have to go to the hospital for a few days before it gets real bad because it can be deadly

Go to school and touch everyone with your saliva covered hands.
