How does Polio spread? Direct person-to-person contact Contact with infected mucus phlegm from the nose or mouth Contact with infected feces (fecal oral contamination) The virus multiplies throat and intestinal tract Spread through the blood and lymph system Extremely contagious Mainly affects children under 5
