In temperate climates, [[influenza A]] usually arrives between early winter and early spring. [[Influenza B]] can appear at any time of the year.


The most common way to catch the [[flu]] is by breathing in droplets from [[coughs]] or [[sneezes]]. Less often, it is spread when you touch a surface such as a faucet handle or phone that has the [[virus]] on it, and then touch your own [[mouth]], [[nose]], or [[eyes]].
