i'd say it takes well hour 24 hrs. for the virus to die by itself. you can use a lysol-type spray that should help. wash your hands frequently and use sanitizer frequently.
how long can flu/cold causing bacteria live outside the human body? . pretty much what i asked. my mom had a nasty stomach bug which i'm pretty sure was the flu with all the nasty symptoms that go along with it. not thinking she used my computer for something to do. i've been avoiding it (using a friend's computer now) but how long do i need to? i have stuff i need to do on it so how long do i need to wait before i don't need to worry about contracting it myself?
