Is the flu airborne?


Is the flu airborne?

Yes, it is transmitted by airborne droplets from infected people coughing and sneezing. Obviously this also makes direct touch and cross-infection from shared objects like cups and towels a rick as well.

when people sneeze.........

Most definitely!

Yes, if you are talking about Influenza. Since influenza is a Respritory Disease, it is airborne, and most commonly caught by breathing in particles that the person has sneezed, coughed, or even possibly breathed out. Influenza though, can be spread if someone with it Just blew thier nose and then shook hands or touched someone without washing their hands. If you are talking about the Stomach Flu, It isn't Airborne, it is spread by sharing of utensils, a sick person preparing food, saliva, and through the person's bowel movements or vomit. So if someone with it doesn't wash their hands properly, they could spread or get it. Hope I Helped You!!!!!!!!!!!!
