The length of time that cold or flu germs can survive outside the body on an environmental surface, such as a doorknob, varies greatly. But the suspected range is from a few seconds to 48 hours - depending on the specific virus and the type of surface. Flu viruses tend to live longer on surfaces than cold viruses do. Also, it's generally believed that cold and flu viruses live longer on nonporous surfaces - such as plastic, metal or wood - than they do on porous surfaces - such as fabrics, skin or paper.
What is the mano disease?
Mano in Spanish means "hand". I believe you mean Mono, which is short for mononucleosis. Mononucleosis was dubbed the "Kissing disease" because it transmits very easily orally. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, a type of herpes virus, to which more than 90% of adults have been exposed. The symptoms are sore throat, extreme fatigue, sore and achy muscles, loss of appetite and weight. The virus has a long incubation period, 4-7 weeks, and the symptoms last 2 weeks to a month, sometimes longer. Since mononucleosis is a virus, it cannot and should not be treated with antibiotics. There is a drug by the name of valacyclovir, which has shown to reduce or eliminate the presence of the Epstein-Barr virus.
