short by / on Wednesday, 21 May, 2025
Polio primarily spreads via the faecal-oral route but can also transmit through droplets and contaminated surfaces. Misinformation risks public health—vaccination and sanitation remain critical for control. Polio doesn’t just spread through faeces—it can also travel through saliva and contaminated hands or water. Stick to the facts: stay vaccinated and prioritize good hygiene.
