Kissing gives you cooties -- and that's a good thing
Scientists say that kissing may have evolved to help women build resistance to a virus found in male saliva. The Cytomegalovirus germ is normally harmless but can kill unborn babies if it's contracted during pregnancy. Research shows that kissing before pregnancy gives women a chance to inoculate themselves against the virus, helping to ensure the health of their baby.
