How long am I contagious when I have the flu? |
 |
You’re actually contagious about 24 hours before you even have any kind of flu symptoms.
And as long as you have symptoms of the flu you can spread the virus. This means even when you start feeling a little bit better but still maybe have a slight lingering runny nose, you are still contagious. |

If anyone in my family has lice, I should use some kind of pesticide on every surface of my house.
The Truth: Off of the body, lice can only survive for one two days. Nits (link to lice article) that hatch will die if they don't find food within hours. There is no need to clean every part of your house with pesticides. Instead focus your efforts on cleaning hair, bedding, hats, toys, and furniture instead.
