A member asked:
The smaller number of flu viral particles enter my body, the less likely i get sick?

In theory: it only takes one! In practice it depends upon the method of spread (eg: airborn contamination contains millions of viral perticles) and your partial IMMUNITY to the viral class. Hope this is helpful Dr Z
