A member asked:
Can people catch the flu from someone who has it if the person with flu don't have temp?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible: It is possible to transmit the virus even before the onset of symptoms. That is the reason careful hand washing is particularly important during flu season.

Flu Is contagious: The viruses are spread primarily through large-particle respiratory droplet transmission. Not everyone with the flu has every symptom and not everyone who contracts flu will have a fever.
