Yes. That would be a most excellent way to get the flu, especially if the door is in a public location. It can also happen if you use your hand on the door handle and then touch your mouth, nose or eyes which introduces the viruses on your hand which was picked up from the door handle onto your body's mucous tissues. For this and many more reasons, do not put your mouth on door handles.

How does the Swine Flu replicate?
Because this disease is contagious, if people sneeze someone might get infected. Also, if you have swine flu and you open a door after sneezing, the next person who puts their hand on the door and puts their hand in their mouth is infected. Please don't spread germs!
How is flu transmitted in the human body?
You can get the flu if someone around you who has the flu coughs or sneezes. You can get the flu simply by touching a surface like a telephone or door knob that has been contaminated by a touch from someone who has the flu. The viruses can pass through the air and can enter your body through your nose or mouth. If you've touched a contaminated surface, they can pass from your hand to your nose or mouth.
It is known that you probably can't get swine flu by eating pork. But can the H1N1 virus enter your body and give you the flu if you -eat or swallow- the virus?
Yes, any contact of the virus with mucous tissue can give you the viral infection. So, if the virus gets in your mouth by any means, including eating something that has the virus on it, putting your finger in your mouth, or holding a pencil between your teeth, for example, you can potentially catch the flu. That is why not touching your face, eyes, nose, or mouth and washing hands frequently is such an important part of the pandemic prevention advisories.

Is dry mouth a symptom of the flu?

Can you drink alcohol several hours after getting a flu shot?
Yeah, I guess. I don't know what will happen to you, but I don't think a vaccine will stop you from putting a glass to your mouth.

How can someone with flu infect someone else?
The flu is spread when infected people speak, sneeze or cough sending infected droplets through the air and we inhale that air. The virus can also be picked up by our hands after touching doorknobs, counters, handrails, escalator rails, pencils or any object. An infected person can sneeze into their hands thinking they are containing their infected droplets, then open a door depositing the germs on the door knob. The next person opens the door and gets the germs on his own hands then touches his nose or mouth completing the transmission.
