Can i catch rotavirus by breathing in the virus?

Not likely: Rotavirus is thought to be spread via the fecal-oral route -- so areas with poor sanitation and cleanliness could result in the ingestion of the virus.

Very unlikely.: Touching contaminated items and then handling your food is much more likely to produce infection.
