Cold sores, hand–foot–mouth disease, and diarrhea are some examples of illnesses easily spread by contaminated fomites. The risk of infection by these diseases and others through fomites can be greatly reduced by simply washing one's hands. When two children in one household have influenza, more than 50\% of shared items are contaminated with virus. In 40–90\% cases, an adult infected with rhinovirus has virus on their hands.
