 [ Symptoms ] everytime i make out with this guy i get a sore throat the next day this guy smokes and does not eat healthy he is sort of a fling and so occasionally we will get together we make out a lot so could there be something tranferred when we kiss that makes me have a sore throat the next day [ Disease ] tetanus the disease is quite rare but the vaccine is 100 effective in preventing it if you have one every ten years minor burns like you described are not high risk for tetanus not knowing when you had your last one i cannot advise you specifically but having a tetanus shot now    if you are due for one anyway    would be a good idea i should have added quite rare in the united states unfortunately tetanus is much more common in other countries
