Swine Flu or Swine Influenza <<< Re-edited

Just a precautionary advice to all of u...

Swine flu has been declared a pandemic of high risk... It is a type A Influenza ..swine influenza A (H1N1)..similar  to Avian Flu or bird flu .... so if u r suffering from flu for more than two days with returning fever and symptoms like fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing...do check it out...

And best way to prevent urself from flu is high input of protein in ur diet...at least two eggs a day or similar quantity of pulses or milk food for vegetarians...

It is not uncurable...body defn grow response against it but factor is if u r weak ur body might get attacked by ssecondary or oother infection coz whole of ur immune system will be busy fighting Influenza virus..so do go to doctor if u think u r suffering from flu....The swine flu is susceptible to four drugs  amantadine, rimantadine, oseltamivir and zanamivir, however, for the 2009 outbreak oseltamivir and zanamivir is recommended.... Already 81 dead in mexico and country close as Japan is on high alert..so it is not very far from India.

It is actually a cattle disease ..mainly pig...but pig to human cases and human to human cases have been reported so..be ready for it...

Precautions:
High protein diet.
Consult doctor if flu and fever both occurs.
Avoid eating pigs or pork

*Newedit:  Just to clear ur misconception..unlike Bird-flu.. Swine Flu is air-borne...means it can spread through Air..it is more similar to SARS which broke havoc on China and other countries just years ago ... So being a veggie doesn't exclude you from the list..

    consult a doctor...it is not that bad to consult a doc when u r ill and ...eating pork is not the only reason...human to human ..it has already been reported...

  8. Akanksha..

    I guess u r too scared since u emphasized it twice..

    to ur relief ...India's weather condition is not suitable for viruses...so chances of an outbreak is minimal...

  11. Oh aisa kya? I was sick last week (In fact, roughly the same time as that hibernation post remember!) ... hay fever, bad cold, sneezing, body ache n all, but no cough. So I guess it wasn't the swine flu, haan! Anyways, I'm all cured now! :-D

  12. what`s with these veggie idiots that think they are immune?

    i felt a little strange last week for a few days and so i backed off the training and slept in a few mornings but i seem to be fine now.

    each year we get symptoms of flus and colds, but it`s generally the weak and old and already ill that get hit worst....

    ..oh yeah and people who eat politically correct diets.

  18. Dr Alistair...

    People are ignorant about it...actually it is not their fault..indian govt. is so busy saving their ass in this election...they forgot to sound alert... :D ..I hope after that India will take serious step against it... most people think bird flu comes from chicken but sledom they kno that no one is worried about bird from chicken they are worried if it start spreading from human to human then it will be high pandemic...

    and i am happy that u r on safe side of this soon to be pandemic

    and I agee with ur latter points :D
    lol
