Here's a fun fact: did you know that influenza can also survive on human skin for up to 5 minutes? That's like, just enough time to shake someone's hand and spread the virus - whoops! Additionally, influenza can be airborne for up to 3 feet, which is why covering your mouth when you cough is so important.
So, what can you do to protect yourself from influenza? For starters, make sure to wash your hands frequently, especially after touching surfaces that might be contaminated. You should also avoid touching your face, as this can help spread the virus from your hands to your eyes, nose, and mouth - ick!
