Good afternoon, readers. I have just finished my first week of high school, and I'm practically half dead. My hands hurt from writing, my fingertips hurt from typing, and my feet hurt from walking across the school. I'm so tired! And, my friend caught mono! ): For those of you who don't know what mono is, it is a viral disease. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. "Mono," is the shortened version of the disease's full name, mononucleosis. (Maw-NO-NU-KLEE-O-SIS) Luckily, it isn't serious and dangerous cases rarely occur. Mono usually occurs in kids and adults within the ages of 10 through 35; with peak ages of 15-17. It's very common in young people in places that house or shelter teens and young adults, like in high schools, or the military. So! That was your little insight on mononucleosis. Good night!
