When I was young, my mom never kissed me on the lips. She said it's dirty for an adult to kiss a clean child. Germs can be passed that way. And adults are dirty. They eat all kinds of junk. She always said a baby's breath is the cleanest & freshest.
She never let any one else kiss me either, and I was cute.
There was a prostitute who lived close by who always came over to carry me. I was a baby/toddler at the time. My mom was always afraid she would kiss me & I think she only succeeded in kissing my cheek which mom saw & didn't like. Henceforth, mom somehow prevented her from carrying me again.
Turned out mom was right. She said the Ang Mohs/westerners kiss their kids on their mouths, but it is very bad practice.

Most people get it as children," Itzhaki says. "It's in your saliva, and it can easily be passed along with a kiss from a family member." She says it's not really that puzzling that most people who carry the virus never show symptoms—as she puts it, not everyone who's infected with a microbe is necessarily affected by it. "It depends on the person harboring the virus," she says. "It's probably based on genetic factors."
How might a germ you could have contracted from, say, a grandparent potentially destroy your brain when you become a grandparent?
As usual, money is a bad thing. It has been causing problems in the search for cures. Pharmaceutical companies are evil. The cure for cancer was found a lot time ago but it was buried. The methods currently in use kill people and yet nothing is done to change anything because it would mean the loss of billions for the pharmaceutical & medical industries. They want people to be dependent on their drugs & methods.
Doctors push for operations just to buy themselves another car or other personal purposes.
The Hippocratic Oath has long become the Hypocrite Oath.
I won't be surprised if this funding problem & dismissal attitudes in this case is due to some pharmaceutical company/companies attempting to squash the study.
Money shouldn't even be involved. The search for cures should be above money. This is for the good & betterment of Humankind. In turn, without money, it can translate to our betterment towards other species. This is not the vision of the future, but something that can be done anytime.
Everything in society in our current situation is manmade. It can be remade in any number of different ways anytime we want. Not happy with something? Change it.
Just for instance, due to consumers' preferences & awareness, companies are forced to sell better food & products. It is possible to steer things in the direction you want. Currently, consumers are calling for the removal of toxic petroleum-based ingredients in many products including those for babies.
On the last page of the article however, ... I think it's a bad idea to even hint that people can take preventive medication when pharmaceutical drugs can cause visible & unknown side-effects or illness over a short term or long term use.
Anyone of the researchers looked into whether & how much the disease affects the Japanese people?
