I'm pretty sure starbucks guy spitted in my coffee this morning... too bad I've realized it after coffee was gone already. He was rude the other day, I complained right in front of him to his manager, he made my coffee this morning and when I looked back to grab some sugar he started moving super fast and leaned towards... OMG I'm such an idiot... Will recatching mono prolong my misery?

    Hi Gee,

    Don't want you to worry or panic, although I'm no expert my understanding is that you can't be reinfected so to speak, once EBV is in your system it stays there, even when you recover it just lies dormant in your system. Plus this would only be a concern if this waiter currently had glandular fever anyway, which is highly unlikely unless you knew otherwise.

    Try not to worry, I know it's easy to do that when not feeling great.

    Best wishes

    Craig

      Thanks Gee, I just really hoping that you feel better soon - 2018 I really hope and pray can be the year of recovery.
