The H1N1 Flu Spreads
What better way to help prevent catching it then to understand how the H1N1 flu is spread, with flu season just around the corner.
Basically the H1N1 flu virus is contagious and is spread the same way as any regular seasonal influenza. The H1N1 can spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes and their germs enter the nose, eyes, or throat of another person.
H1N1 germs can also be found on hard surfaces like counters and doorknobs, and can be picked up by the touch of the hand and transmitted to the respiratory system when someone touches their mouth or nose. Try to make it a habit of scratching your facial area with your wrist or forearm area if possible.
