poliomyelitis`s spreads through___________
----------
It's a highly infectious virus.
It spreads through human-to-human contact. It spreads even easier when there is contaminated water or food, or poor hygiene/sanitation.
There is unfortunately no cure for the disease which usually infects the spine and results in paralysis, but it is easily prevented through polio vaccination as a young child. The polio vaccine is highly effective. (

First I would want to ask you how long your boy friend has had polio. Symptoms usually start 7 to 14 days after exposure to the virus. Infected persons are most contagious from a few days before to a few days after the start of symptoms. However, persons with polio can spread the infection for as long as the virus is in their throat or stool. The virus can be found in the throat for about 1 week after infection and in the stool for 6 weeks or longer.
If he didn't just get polio then he is probably not contagious. And he would not affect your children. Also, how old is he? How long ago did he have polio. If it is like 10 or more years ago he could be developing post polio syndrome. The nuerons (cells in the spine) send messages to our muscles and make them work. They now know that 10 to 40 years after having polio those nuerons can start dying off and we develop what we call post polio syndrome.
This means our muscles are no longer getting the messages to the muslces as when we had polio. So many people like myself develope post polio and their limbs start weakening and the have other various problems. But we no longer have the polio virus and are NOT contagious.
I am president of the International Post Polio Syndrome Support Organization (IPPSO) that is based on the internet. If you want to learn more about post poio you will find the information you need on our site.
It is unusual for someone in the U.S. who is young to have polio anymore. What country are you in?
Please feel free to write me if you have more questions.
