I not only mean it as in ‘french-kissing your partner’, but also things like ‘kissing someone’s hand out of reverence’ and ‘kissing the kids good night’.

Cultures enduring a plague
Fun fact: a handshake transfers more viruses and bacteria than a kiss, especially one on the cheek.
How do I tell my kids that I can’t give them a firm handshake goodnight anymore?
With a fistbump.
id reckon that a handshake on the cheek might also transfer a sense of discomfort
herpes and EBV are more common from the mouth but wrestlers can spread herpes through hands as well.
I doubt you can get EBV from a kiss on the cheek. There’s usually some more tongue action involved.
Herpes maybe.
Transfers, yes, but if you’re careful, those germs on your hands will never get to your face, but a kiss is direct infection.
