How long is the flu contagious?

How long am I contagious when I have the flu or a cold? 

As long as you have symptoms. Your ability to spread these viruses remains until the last sniffle, says Bill Schaffner, MD, a physician and infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville. And you’re contagious 24 hours before you first show symptoms.
