Swine Flu

Swine Flu became talk of the town just within fraction of seconds. Many people who got infected with this initially thought it was just another mild flu. It got lot of attention when people started dying. This is most commonly seen in Mexico and United States. The number of people suffering from this flu is just increasing day by day.

Just as a matter of concern, I started looking at different articles on wiki and other news paper. I learnt quite a bit about it. I have mentioned below very few symptoms of the same.

Farmers at swine farms who work more closely with pigs are at higher risk of getting infected.

According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in humans the symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.

The virus mostly spreads due to coughing or sneezing or even touching something which has virus on it. As a precautionary method it is always better to wash hands frequently and also use a hand sanitizer.

I just hope people who are already infected get well soon and this tragic situation ends at the earliest.
