mono
Mononucleosis is technically called infectious
mononucleosis or
glandular fever, but is generally referred to as "mono" for short. It occurs primarily between the ages of 10 and 35 years old. When younger children are infected, it causes little or no illness. Such exposure does, however, create an immunity to the disease. Nearly 90% of Americans have antibodies for mononucleosis by age 40. Mono has an incubation period of 30 to 40 days and the symptoms usually last 7 to 14 days but can last for several weeks. The virus can stay alive within the body for several months. The name mononucleosis comes from the fact that the disease distorts the white blood cells, causing them to only have one nucleus. Only a blood test called the mononucleosis spot test can determine if someone has the disease. SYMPTOMS OF
MONONUCLEOSIS The following symptoms can be present with mono, but most likely not all will be. Sore throat, usually red Enlarged lymph nodes in all parts of the body Fever Nausea Loss of appetite Extreme fatigue Enlarged spleen (2/3 of mono patients) Ulceration of the pharynx (sometimes) Swelling of the upper eyelid Trouble breathing Rapid heart beat
Red rash on the body (about 15% of mono patients) Oversensitivity to light

A mono is just like an (alt or goth) and have similarities also differences, unlike alt or goths they only
wear black and white in most of their outfits to resemble their thought of life. And they have a closed personality meaning they do not enjoy including themselves with others. A good example of
a mono person is someone who dresses in black and white and acts plain or basic.
