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.
