How is it spread?
The mumps virus is spread when an infected person coughs and sneezes, as well as through contact with contaminated items, such as tissues, drinking glasses, and dirty hands.
The virus is most often spread within a day or two before the first symptoms appear, although it can be spread any time from 7 days before symptoms appear to 9 days after symptoms appear.
No, I don't have mumps... well, I don't think I do. :) However, someone I know does. Or might have, anyway.
