What you can do to prevent spreading an airborne disease

Although it’s impossible to completely avoid airborne pathogens, there are some things you can do to lower your chances of getting sick:

• Avoid close contact with people who have active symptoms of disease.
• Stay home when you’re sick. Don’t let vulnerable people come in close contact with you.
• If you must be around others, wear a face mask to prevent spreading or breathing in germs.
• Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Use a tissue or your elbow to cut down on the possibility of transmitting germs on your hands.
• Wash your hands thoroughly (at least 20 seconds) and often, especially after sneezing or coughing.
• Avoid touching your face or other people with unwashed hands.

Vaccines can reduce your chances of getting some airborne diseases. Vaccines also lower the risk for others in the community. Airborne diseases that have vaccines include:

• chickenpox
• diphtheria
• influenza: vaccine updated every year to include strains most likely to spread in the coming season
• measles: usually combined with vaccine for mumps and rubella, and is known as the MMR vaccine
• mumps: MMR vaccine
• TB: not generally recommended in the United States
• whooping cough

In developing countries, mass immunization campaigns are helping to lower the transmission rates of some of these airborne diseases.

Answer 2

You can catch some diseases simply by breathing. These are called airborne diseases.

Airborne disease can spread when people with certain infections cough, sneeze, or talk, spewing nasal and throat secretions into the air. Some viruses or bacteria take flight and hang in the air or land on other people or surfaces.

When you breathe in airborne pathogenic organisms, they take up residence inside you. You can also pick up germs when you touch a surface that harbors them, and then touch your own eyes, nose, or mouth.

Because these diseases travel in the air, they’re hard to control. Keep reading to learn more about the common types of airborne diseases and what you can do to protect yourself from catching them.
