Bratwurst (German: [ËbÊaËtvÊÉÌ¯st] ( listen)) is a type of German sausage made from veal, pork or beef. The name is derived from the Old High German BrÃ¤twurst, from brÃ¤t-, finely chopped meat, and Wurst, sausage, although in modern German it is often associated with the verb braten, to pan fry or roast.
Where do Viruses live? Viruses, like bacteria are found almost everywhere; in the soil, in the air, on surfaces or in animals and plants. They are looking for a host organism to infect so that they can use the machinery in the cell to multiply and create more viruses. Viruses are choosy about what they infect; plant viruses will only plants, some viruses only infect bacteria whilst others infect animals.
When one family member gets a cold or the flu, it seems like only a matter of time before everyone in the house gets sick. That got Michael Guccione of Naperville, Illinois, to wondering how long these viruses survive on surfaces, and if that's how they get passed from one person to another. Well, Michael, we asked Dr. Don Goldmann, an infectious disease specialist at Children's Hospital in Boston. He says cold viruses can live for up to six hours outside the human body. Goldmann: And they are spread by this sort of careless touching of contaminated surfaces.
