How do pornstars do @ss to mouth without getting diseases?


I've seen numerous pornstars do @ss to mouth. I know that fecal matters can severly damage your body and could even kill you. Do they use some kind of chemical to kill all the bacteria in that region before doing @ss to mouth?
----------

they do get diseases inspite of the safegards and temporary remedies used. the media has little concern for broadcasting statistics about porn stars. and they certainly don't want adverse publicity that could damage their business. it's like thinking the best recommended rubber keeps you safe, untill you realize they contain pores in their surfaces 5 microns across and a virus is around 3 microns wide. it amounts to riding a bicycle through an open garage door, if you're unprotected don't think your safe much less immune  (+ info)

What is hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common illness of infants and children. It is characterized by fever, sores in the mouth, and a rash with blisters. HFMD begins with a mild fever, poor appetite, malaise ("feeling sick"), and frequently a sore throat.


Is HFMD the same as foot-and-mouth disease?

No. HFMD is often confused with foot-and-mouth disease of cattle, sheep, and swine. Although the names are similar, the two diseases are not related at all and are caused by different viruses.


Is HFMD contagious?

Yes, HFMD is moderately contagious. Infection is spread from person to person by direct contact with nose and throat discharges, saliva, fluid from blisters, or the stool of infected persons. A person is most contagious during the first week of the illness. HFMD is not transmitted to or from pets or other animals.


Can HFMD be prevented?

Specific prevention for HFMD or other non-polio enterovirus infections is not available, but the risk of infection can be lowered by good hygienic practices. Preventive measures include frequent handwashing, especially after diaper changes (see "Handwashing" in: "An Ounce of Prevention: Keeps the Germs Away" at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/op/handwashing.htm), cleaning of contaminated surfaces and soiled items first with soap and water, and then disinfecting them by diluted solution of chlorine-containing bleach (made by mixing approximately ΒΌ cup of bleach with 1 gallon of water. (See more about cleaning and disinfecting in general at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/op/cleaning.htm). Avoidance of close contact (kissing, hugging, sharing utensils, etc.) with children with HFMD may also help to reduce of the risk of infection to caregivers.

HFMD outbreaks in child care facilities occur most often in the summer and fall months, and usually coincide with an increased number of cases in the community.  (+ info)

----------

Sores in the mouth can be cancerous lesions but are rarely seen in the young outside of tobacco chewers. More often than not it is related to a virus and will get better on its own, but can be related to fungus or bacteria (Strep, Gonorrhea, etc.) that would benefit from treatment. Thrush may be a harbinger of diabetes or an immune problem.  (+ info)
