5 Diseases You Can Contract From Playing Truth ‘or’ Dare
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The highlight of adulthood is socializing and one way to socialize is attending events and parties right? Party is all about having fun, whatever that is. In most cases, party hosts put together a bunch of games to keep the party atmosphere bubbly. Depending on the kind of party it is, a college party, work party, dinner party or birthday party, the choice of game differs from fun to sexual.

You’d agree with me that the most played game in parties is truth or dare. Now, things can get pretty steamy in this type of game which depends on the kind of task requested of you. Basically, things tend to lean towards a sexual aspect of dares which could be kissing someone, oral sex in the dark or any other sexual act. This article is aimed at informing you on the kind of diseases you could possibly contract from engaging in sexual dares with utter strangers.

Indirect Transmission of Diseases

Truth or Dare does not inherently transmit diseases directly. However, it creates numerous opportunities for indirect transmission of diseases.
At parties, you’re bound to meet at least one person you don’t know. The best way to bond in such settings is by trying to get to know them through various fun activities during the party.

Need I say this with a microphone? “A dare task is not the perfect ‘get to know me’ scenario”. Now this is what I mean by creating ‘numerous opportunities’ for indirect transmission of diseases. What if this new person is a carrier of HPV, just saying. Then you are dared to have oral sex with him or her. Cheers from half drunk participants fill the air and you shallowly think to yourself, “Should I?” That’s about all the thinking you do before going down on them.

Here’s a friendly reminder: one symptom of the sexually transmitted infection, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is genital warts. You can contract HPV if an infected person is ejected in your mouth, or if any infected bodily fluid comes into contact with mucous membranes or open wounds in the mouth, vagina or anus. Even a small amount of infected fluid is enough to transmit the virus.

Diseases Spreadable Through Truth or Dare

Common Cold or Flu

The common cold or flu transmits through respiratory droplets like a cough, sneeze, talk, or even talking because droplets from an infected person can contaminate the air in the room. Parties are usually congested, they could be one or more persons with a common cold or flu. These droplets can land on different surfaces like doorknobs or even utensils. Unknowingly, if you touch any of these contaminated surfaces, and then touch the face (mouth, nose, or eyes), you can get infected.

Skin Infection (ringworm)

Skin infections like ringworm or impetigo which presents itself as sores, can spread through direct contact (skin-to-skin) with an infected person. However, these skin infections can be transmitted indirectly through contaminated surfaces and objects like clothing and handkerchiefs used by an infected person. So basically, dares that requires

Conjunctivitis

Conjunctivitis or pink eye can be transmitted when you come in contact with an eye discharge of an infected person. During dares the virus or bacteria causing conjunctivitis can spread through sharing objects that touch the eyes, such as towels or makeup.

Mononucleosis (Mono)

Mono is typically spread through saliva. Sharing a drink or the same utensils, or kissing an infected person during dares can transmit the infection.

Risk of Cuts or Scrapes Becoming Infected

Having cuts or scrapes on the skin is a perfect way for bacteria from the skin surface and infecting the surrounding to enter the body. Without proper care of the cut before the party, it would increase the tendency of you getting indirectly infected with diseases.

Conclusion

While having a fun time at parties is necessary, always be conscious of what might put your health in harm’s way. If you must participate in truth or dare, avoid sharing cups or utensils with strangers, avoid kissing strangers or engaging in any form of sexual activities because there are some sexually transmitted infections with no symptoms.
