• Swine Influenza (also called swine flu, hog

flu, and pig flu) is a respiratory track

infection from pigs, It is from the influenza
family of viruses that is unique in pigs and
this kind of virus can kill the human race.
The swine flu can easily spread from one
person to another, when it does it can
cause serious illness, and spread out
across the country and even the world .
• The swine flu has been around for a long time and there
have been little breakouts all over from time to time. The flu
that everyone keeps referring to as the swine flu is actually a
new flu that has never been around humans before.
• Swine flu was first introduced in the 1918 flu pandemic,
when humans were sick at the same time as pigs were. In
1997 and 2002 new types of three different subtypes and
five different genotypes were found among pigs in North
America. From 1968 to 1969 H3N2 virus was found. At
1999 in Canada, H4N6 crossed the side from birds to pigs
but was kept in a single farm. H1N1 is one of the
descendants that caused the 1918 flu pandemic, but has
never been around before. The previous outbreak was
discovered in Mexico, with evidence that it was on-going for
months before it was recognized.

• Swine flu attacks the lungs and respiratory system.
The most common cause of death for swine flu is
pneumonia, pneumonia is a infection in the lungs that
is most likely caused by a bacteria or a virus.
Basically pneumonia is when your lungs are filled
with fluids (not blood) and that means that oxygen
won’t be able to reach the blood and the cells of the
body. When infected by swine flu by another person
there are no toxins or any poisons produced but when
you get the vaccine it does contain mercury, which is
a endotoxin. The organism does not produce enzymes
that are destructive to body.
Swine flu is transmitted just the way any other flu is transmitted
through person-to-person contact. One person touches
something someone with a virus has already touched, or droplets
in the air which came from a sneeze or a cough of a person who
has the swine flu spread to another person then on and on.
Basically:
• Coughing
• Sneezing
• Kissing
• Touching infected objects
• Touching nose, mouth and/or eyes with infected hands
Swine flu can include:
• A fever
• Constant coughing
• A runny nose or stuffy nose
• A sore throat
• body aches
• headache
• chills
• fatigue or tiredness, which can
be extreme
• diarrhea and vomiting,
sometimes, but more commonly
seen than with seasonal flu
• Lack of appetite
• Nausea
 If you wash your hands and face regularly with anti-bacterial soap, and shower regularly you are
only lessening your chance of getting it, so you still have a chance of getting swine flu so just
cover your coughs and sneezes. Wash your hands after coughs, sneezes or touching you
mouth.
as well as not putting your hands near your mouth after touching things like phones, door
handles places where other people can leave their germs!
• Covering nose and mouth with a tissue upon coughing and sneezing followed by proper
disposal of the tissue.
• Avoiding contact with ill persons.
• Avoiding the urge to touch nose, mouth and eyes in general.
• Staying home form work and/or school upon onset and for the duration of symptoms.
• Assuring adequate and thorough handwashing and use of alcohol based hand cleansers (in the
absence of proper handwashing facilities).
• Providing tissues in common areas of homes, common and public areas.
• Encouraging pursuit of medical evaluation at earliest onset of symptoms.
• Use of masks to those who are exhibiting symptoms or who are ill.
• Maintenance of a 3 to 6 foot perimeter around a coughing patient.
• The best treatment for H1N1 is to get
vaccinated, especially the people of age 65 and
older, people with health problems like asthma
and etc., pregnant woman and young children.

• The W.H.O (World Health Organization) asked countries around the world
to step up their surveillance of influenza because they fear that the
outbreak could spread to other countries.
• In Mexico more than 1000 people are ill and the Mexican government has
isolated patients and inspected homes, also the mayor of Mexico city has
cancelled all public events until further notice. Dr. Margaret chan, director
general of the W.H.O says that it’s to early to announce a full pendemic
alert. The organization uses 6 phases to categorize the risk of such an
outbreak but right now we are at phase 3. Dr. Chan says that the symptoms
include fever, body aches, coughing, sore throat, vomiting and diarrhea.
It’s said that H1N1 spreads the same way as a common flu, coughing,
sneezing, so always wash your hands.
• - I think that you probably don’t have to worry about
it. If you have children or are pregnant, then it may be
a good idea to get vaccinated if you want to be extra
safe, but keep in mind that the virus can (and some
say is has) mutate into a different strain. If you really
want to be healthy, it goes back to the thing that
nobody wants to consider: diet and exercise.
• The really important one is eating fruits and
vegetables as the main portion of your diet-those are
what keeps you healthy.
• I am not saying be a vegetarian, but making sure
you eat several servings of fruits and
veggies.
