"Mononucleosis is typically transmitted from asymptomatic individuals through blood or saliva (hence "the kissing disease"), or by sharing a drink, or sharing eating utensils. The disease is far less contagious than is commonly thought."
"Symptoms usually appear 1-2 months after infection, and may resemble strep throat, or other bacterial or viral respiratory infections. The typical symptoms and signs of mononucleosis are:
* Fever—this varies from mild to severe, but is seen in nearly all cases.
* Tender and enlarged/swollen lymph nodes—particularly the posterior cervical lymph nodes, on both sides of the neck.
* Sore throat—White patches on the tonsils and back of the throat are often seen
* Fatigue (sometimes extreme fatigue)
Some patients also display:
* Enlarged spleen (splenomegaly, which may lead to rupture) and/or liver (hepatomegaly)
* Petechial hemorrhage
* Abdominal pain
* Aching muscles
* Headache
* Loss of appetite
* Jaundice
* Depression
* Weakness
* Skin rash
* Dizziness or disorientation
* Uncontrolled shaking at times
* Dry cough
* Enlarged Prostate
* Supra-orbital oedema—the eyes become puffy and swollen—may occur in the early stages of infection"

Mono is very easily spread, and is also a bad thing to get rid of, it is a virus and can be passed along like colds. You can get it from making out and sharing drinks, lip gloss, and such. It does not mean that the person is not being clean or that they are not brushing there teeth! Here is a website that will help you understand what it is better.

No no no.
Mono has nothing to do with how often one brushes their teeth. You can get it from sharing toothbrushes, though? You can also get it from making out, sharing lipgloss, sharing eating utensils, straws, or any other things that involve "swapping spit".
