Extra+Mumps+Information

Caused By: Somebody could get the mumps by inhaling infected saliva with paramyxovirus on it. This virus causes mumps by swelling up glands usually in your mouth. They are circular and only can live in humans.

Transmitted: Mumps can be transmitted by sneezes or coughs. The infected sneeze/ cough dropplets get into someone's body by breathing in the saliva. The mumps are contagious and if you are in direct contact, you may end up with them too.
