- CamperBob2 7y agoMore to the point, how are you going to transmit viruses without a liquid medium of some kind? (Any virologists out there? Does that ever happen?) A very small number of viral particles isn't usually enough to cause disease, as I understand it, and I definitely don't see how you'll pick up enough from dry paper to become sick. If that sort of thing were possible, people would be getting diseases like warts and herpes from the toilet paper in public restrooms. Library books would be pretty far down my list of concerns.
