Mumps is a contagious disease that is spread from person to person through contact with respiratory secretions such as saliva from an infected person.

Meaning, as long as you don't get in contact with an infected person's bodily fluids, you won't get infected.

It is a virus. Generally, you'd get it from someone else who has it. If you're in the USA, you probably were vaccinated for it and hopefully you won't get it.

The mumps are spread in the same way that the cold virus is spread. It is a virus that can be spread through direct contact with saliva and/or discharge from the nose and/or mouth.
