A single 10-second kiss can transfer as many as 80 million bacteria, according to Dutch scientists.
They monitored the kissing behaviour of 21 couples and found those who kissed nine times a day were most likely to share salivary bugs.
Studies suggest the mouth is home to more than 700 different types of bacteria - but the report reveals some are exchanged more easily than others.
The research is published in the journal Microbiome.
