Please tell me, are stomach viruses contagious through the air?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically fecal-oral: Simplistic, but a good rule of thumb: Most enteric infections (whether bacterial, viral, parasitic) are acquired by ingesting the infecting agent. Air borne infection usually causes respiratory problems.
