Viruses (biological)
A virus is a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of organisms. Viruses display a wide diversity of shapes and sizes, called morphologies. Generally viruses are much smaller than bacteria. Most viruses that have been studied have a diameter between 10 and 300 nanometres.

Can you get the flu by drinking after others that have it?
Yes. The flu virus enters your body mostly through your mouth, nose, and eyes where there is mucous tissue. If you put your mouth on a glass a sick person used, you will very likely get their germs, including the flu if they have it.
Is dental work safe when you have the flu?
No. This can just simply be you flu kicking in. Your body is infected with a virus days before you see and feel the affects. It is just coincidence that it was the day after you went to the dentist.
When you have the flu does your belly hurt?
Your stomach will not nessasaraly hurt if you have the flu. it depends on what flu you have
Is Ebola virus a living or non-living organisim?
Virus cannot considered living. They lack cellular organization
Why do my lungs hurt with the flu?
It is the mucous tissue, mostly in the respiratory system (including lungs), where the influenza viruses attack the body and destroy the cells as they replicate. Until our immune systems can create the proper defenses to inactivate and remove the flu virus particles from our bodies, we can feel the symptoms of the damage to the mucous tissue cells, which sometimes includes pain in the lungs. In addition, if you have severe pain or if you have congestion and severe cough beyond the first two weeks of symptoms, it could mean you have a secondary lung infection (pneumonia) by bacteria or other viruses that needs treatment. This can also cause your lungs to hurt. Contact your health care professional to describe the symptoms so they can determine if you need an examination.
How did the Epstein Barr virus get its name?
Epstein and Barr were two medical researchers. It was named in the early 1960's.
How can you get the flu really easily?
The flu origin is not the contact with viruses. It comes from the fall of your body defenses. But this fall comes from an emotional condition or a fixed idea (that proximity to viruses causes flu).
So, keep laughing anyway, be happy anyway, erase the idea that flu comes because your neighbor has it, eat healthy and any time you see the flu is coming, find any trouble, any dislike, any situation you didn't feel comfortable and handle it with charm. Sooner than later, you will be another "happiest" person in the world. It is all in your hands, it is your own decision.
Best.
RACCOON HAS A BETTER CHANCE IN GETTING THE RONA THAN YOU GETTING THIRD
Can skin hurting be related to the flu?
it depends on how bad it is. It can hurt, especially if you are sweating or hot
Can you get a cold sore from biting your lip?
If the other person has EVER had a cold sore then you are susceptible to getting them. Regardless if they have an outbreak or not the herpes virus is still active. If you have a cut in your mouth or on your lips or if your lips are dry you are more likely to get them.

It seems to say that HSV-2 is hardly spread to other parts of the body (as it says below). I know that HSV-I can travel from mouth to the penis or vagina and vice versa. For many years HSV 2 was believed to be a painful and dangerous infection that affects people with an "active sex life". Genital Herpes can infect anyone who has sex, even if only once. An estimated 22% of adults from varying backgrounds, income levels and ethnic groups have HSV 2. HSV 2 is often so mild that an estimated two thirds of those infected don't even realize they have it. Type 2rarely causes complications and more rarely spreads to other parts of the body outside of the risk of autoinoculation that most often occurs during the primary episode.
I got the above paragraph from: http://herpesonline.org/hsv1vs2.html but this site had misc info: http://www.suite101.com/reference/herpes_simplex_virus_2 ...just DON'T BELIEVE THE JUNK ABOUT THE ABILITY TO CURE IT! ~Peace~
Yes, oral herpes can be transmitted by kissing.
there are trace amounts of the disease in your saliva but not enought to pass it on through kissing.
Contact with the virus is made with your mouth.
"Herpes 3" or HHV-3 as it is also called is another name for the zoster virus, which is also commonly called chickenpox or shingles.
Human herpes virus 3 (HHV3) which is herpeszoster virus is also called varicella-zoster virus
Is the rhinovirus an obligate anaerobe?
Hello!
The rhinovirus, which is known to cause the common cold in humans, is not an obligate anaerobe. Viruses in general really don't mind if the host they are infecting is an anaerobe or not, and they don't have the organelles and specialised proteins and enzymes required for cellular respiration.
However, viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, i.e., they have to infect a highly capable host to reproduce many copies of themselves.
Hope this response helped you! 😃
When should a person get vaccinated if they have the flu?
The time for vaccination is prior to having the flu since the vaccine is intended to prevent the flu, not treat it. However, it is advisable to still get a vaccination even if you have had the flu since there are vaccines for multiple types of flu in the seasonal flu vaccinations to protect you against other types of flu.
You can take the flu vaccine while you have the flu as long as you don't have a fever at the time, however, you should wait until you are sure you are no longer contagious with the flu before you go out in public, even if only going for the vaccination. Otherwise, you can spread it to others in public. Once you have gone 24 hours straight without a fever (when taking no fever reducers), you are considered to be over the flu and no longer contagious.
Is H1N1 influenza a retrovirus?
No it is not. Retroviruses are RNA viruses that can change their RNA into DNA for cell infection (example HIV). Influenza viruses are also RNA viruses, but they do not transcribe the RNA into DNA. Some people think the R in RNA stands for retrovirus, but it stands for ribonucleic acid.
Are viruses a solid liquid or gas?
A virus is a solid but very tiny particle. It high jacks another cells to make more viruses.
