It doesn't change their appearance once they have recovered. While they are ill, they will look like anyone with a bad infectious disease with fever, and much like those with any type of flu look. They often have a faster progression to severe illness than with other types of influenza, however, manifesting mostly in respiratory problems and fever. They will often have very red eyes from conjunctivitis that this type of flu is known for causing.
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.
only birds could have bird flu. it passed on from bird to bird through touch or their s hit. if anothere bird got sh at on by a bird with bird flue that bird would have it.
i think the bird flu is contagious. once one person gets it, another and another and another gets it.

Dogs are not susceptible to the H5N1 bird flu.
No, bird flu is a disease caught from birds.
People catch bird flu by close contact with birds or bird droppings. This is just the flu that infects birds. The bird flu that people often call the bird flu is not the same. That one is passed from person to person.Some people have caught H5N1 from cleaning or plucking infected birds. In China, there have been reports of infection via inhalation of aerosolized materials in live bird markets. And some infections have occurred in people who handle fighting cocks.There have been a few cases where one infected person caught the bird flu virus from another person -- but only after close personal contact. So far, there has been no sustained human-to-human spread of H5N1.
Yes it is more serious, but only because its spreading faster than the bird flu did.
Swine Flu
Yes, some strains are highly contagious in humans, such as the H1N1/09 pandemic Swine Flu. Others, like the Avian (bird) flu, are not easily transmitted from person to person. Transmission of the bird flu from human to human is extremely rare.
To date it has been rare for bird flu to make people sick. However the virus can evolve and when a human infection happens, there is always a strong chance that the virus will mutate and we will get human to human infection. For this reason, if bird flu is suspected in a population of domestic birds these are all destroyed.
they eat puppys. Stupid Chinese people.
