The same way they spread it to people, by coughing or sneezing close to the pig, touching things that the pig puts in its mouth or licks or touches with its nose, or by petting and touching the pig's eyes, or close to their mouths or snouts when they have the virus on their hands.

What is the origin of the name swine lu?

Swine flu was first discovered in people working with pigs. Flu is a disease that is transmitted in various forms among people, pigs, and birds. Sometimes bird flu is transmitted to pigs, and sometime pig flu is transmitted to people. What actually happens is that a pig has pig flu and catches bird flu. A chromosome from the bird flu gets mixed with the pig flu and changes it to a different type of flu. Then a person with human flu catches pig flu. A chromosome with pig and perhaps bird flu mixes with the human flu. The flu is mainly human flu but contains pig and bird flu chromosomes. It got the name swine flu because people working with pigs caught it first. Because it has the pig and bird chromosomes, people with resistance to human flu, have less resistance to swine flu.

Why did Babe start the Swine Flu?

There really is no way to know who the first pig with swine flu was. We are positive, however, that it was not Babe.More, on the lighter side:All the sheep and sheep dogs who knew and lived on the same farm with Babe have indicated that at no time has Babe shown any signs of influenza. There is much speculation on who the first pig with the swine flu was, but as yet it has not been proven conclusively who it may have been.For a full discussion of this side of the story, see the related questions below, "Who was the first pig to spread swine flu?" and "Is there an update on the information of who was the first pig to spread the swine flu?".
