I have my ears pierced one each. I had them peirced again and made the mistake of drinking out of the student's water fountain and caught mono. My ears hadn't healed yet and they got infected. They were so bad I had to go to the Dr. That Dr. delivered me and his daughters were friends of mine. Dr. D. looked me straight in the eye and said, "You have enough holes in your head. Don't ever do that again!", and I've followed his advice ever since.
