swine flu


H1N1 flu, or better known as Swine Flu, has spread dramatically over the country. Originally, the flu was found in pigs, hence the name "Swine Flu". People have been taking many precautions to avoid becoming infected with the flu. Washing hands, using germ-x, and dis-infecting everything are the number one steps to avoiding the flu. However, you CAN still eat pork, the flu is not carried in the meat.
The symptoms for the Swim Flu include those much like your regular seasonal flu. High fever, vomiting, head-aches, soar throat, cough and muscle aches are the most common symptoms. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor immediatley to lessen your chances of it getting worse, and spreading the flu.
If you follow safety steps such as washing your hands, and keeping your hands away from your mouth and nose, your chances of becoming infected are less likely.
