The most surprising fact is that you can spread the flu simply by breathing.
While most people think the flu only spreads through coughing or sneezing, infected individuals continuously exhale microscopic viral particles (aerosols) during normal breathing and talking. These tiny particles can hover in the air for extended periods and infect anyone who inhales them in an enclosed space.
