Topic of this month :

Swine flu is an infection caused by a virus. It's

named for a virus that pigs can get. People do not

normally get swine flu, but human infections can

and do happen. In 2009 a strain of swine flu called

H1N1 infected many people around the world.

The virus is contagious and can spread from

human to human. Symptoms of swine flu in

people are similar to the symptoms of regular

human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat,

body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.

There are antiviral medicines you can take to

prevent or treat swine flu. There is a vaccine

available to protect against swine flu. You can help

prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory

illnesses like influenza by

Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when

you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash

after you use it.

Washing your hands often with soap and water,

especially after you cough or sneeze. You can also

use alcohol-based hand cleaners.

Avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

Germs spread this way.

Trying to avoid close contact with sick people.

Staying home from work or school if you are sick.
