Yes, the flu is contagious. Here's when you're most likely to spread the virus
No one wants to get the flu, but every year, starting around October, the number of seasonal influenza cases begin to climb in the US.The flu is caused by a virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are four types of influenza virus: A, B, C, and D. And all four types are contagious.
These different types don't all circulate at the same time. But they're all contagious, and they all spread the same way: through droplets dispersed by sneezing, coughing, or even talking. In fact, those droplets can spread through the air as far as six feet away.The flu is most contagious in the first 3-4 days
That means you can spread the virus before you even know that you've contracted it — before your temperature rises and your muscles and joints start to ache. And after you start feeling sick, you'll remain contagious for about a week, or possibly longer if you have a weakened immune system.Once your temperature has returned to normal and you're fever-free for at least 24 hours without taking any fever-reducing medication, you're unlikely to be contagious any longer.
