The flu (influenza) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness in all ages, and can lead to hospitalization and death. It is important to know that you can pass the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Healthy adults are able to infect others before they appear sick and up to 5-7 days after becoming sick. Flu is spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze, or talk. Less often, a person might also get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, eyes, or nose.
The symptoms of flu are fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, and severe tiredness. People may be infected with the flu and have respiratory symptoms without fever.
