3. Spreads easily
The infection can spread in a variety of ways, but the overarching theme of all of these examples is that they are all very easily achieved. Skin to skin contact is perhaps the easiest way of spreading the infection and this goes for two types of spreading. A person can spread the infection to other parts of their own body through the skin to skin contact, but they can also pass it on to another person when skin touches the skin as well.
Sometimes it can be unavoidable, but it’s worth trying to avoid this type of contact. As mentioned earlier, the closeness and intimacy afforded by sexual contact can also facilitate the spreading of the infection, but it is the indirect capability of the virus to spread that is perhaps the hardest to guard against.
A carrier touching anything from toys to car door handles to kitchen surfaces can create an opportunity for the infection to spread, as all it takes is for someone else to come into contact with that site and a few days later, they could see similar spots begin to emerge.
