This will probably sound stupid but??

Question

If someone was to spit in a puddle and they had a disease and it evaporated then rained and someone caught it in their mouth could they catch the disease?

Answer 1

how do u people think of this stuff???

but good question

more rain goes on the floor than on people and not many people catch rain in their mouth so it would be a very low possibility

Answer 2

How about - someone who is sick opens a door or touches a computer keyboard or turns on a lightswitch and then you come along 2 seconds later and touch the same object and then you touch your fingers to your face,eyes, or nose.   This is how more illness is passed than the puddle scenario.

If the 2nd person doesn't eat well, doesn't sleep well, or is in some other way compromised in his general health then the chances are more likely that he would get sick.  

Answer 3

I don't know, but PLEASE don't spit! I don't want to catch the "stupid" disease.

Answer 4

The bacteria, if it even managed to evaporate, would I presume be too diffused and dispersed to pregnate the body in sufficient concentrations that would be able to defeat the immune system and incite an entailing infection.

Answer 5

Huh.. that's a good question. It probably wouldn't unless that virus can survive in very cold conditions. It's cold up there, in all those clouds.  

Answer 6

Nah, because of the evaporation process I think that's very unlikely. Also, that's a very good question! I've never thought about it before.

Answer 7

I don't think thats possible!
