Flu / EEE / West Nile Facts 

Avoid the Flu, It’s Up to You!

Flu viruses spread mainly from person to person through the coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Short of living in a plastic bubble for the next few months, what can you do to minimize your risk?
