What is Swine
Influenza? (from CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory
disease of
pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks
of influenza in pigs. Swine flu viruses cause high levels of illness
and low death rates in pigs. Swine influenza viruses may circulate
among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the
late fall and winter months similar to outbreaks in humans. The
classical swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first
isolated from a pig in 1930.

SWINE FLU Prevention:
#1 You
do not get swine flu from pork, especially if properly cooked.
#2 Human-to-human
transmission of swine flu is thought to occur in the same way as
seasonal flu occurs in people, which is mainly person-to-person
transmission through coughing or sneezing of people infected with the
influenza virus. People
may become infected by touching something with
flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

#3 To
prevent getting swine flu,
or any other flu, do
not touch your mouth or nose after you touch
anything that could be contaminated by the flu virus.
Money, the
baby seats in grocery carts and doorknobs to restrooms are key items to
avoid. If you must touch these, then wash your hands as soon
as you can with soap and warm water.
A good alternative is to carry and use a hand sanitizer
to clean your hands after touching anything when you are out and about.

SWINE FLU Cure:
According to the CDC, "There are four different antiviral drugs
that are licensed for use in the US for the treatment of influenza:
amantadine, rimantadine, oseltamivir and zanamivir. While most swine
influenza viruses have been susceptible to all four drugs, the most
recent swine influenza viruses isolated from humans are resistant to
amantadine and rimantadine. At this time, CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir
or zanamivir for the treatment and/or prevention of infection
with swine influenza viruses."
