Shared Symptoms: The Flu and the Common Cold?
The flu is a seasonal illness that everyone is at risk for catching. Those that receive a flu shot from their doctor are less likely to contract this untreatable illness, but not immune to it. The flu is, unfortunately, not treatable with antibiotics. Even if you make an appointment to see your doctor regarding your flu symptoms, he will not be able to prescribe anything for you. Your doctor can run tests to determine whether or not you have the flu and he will suggest an over the counter flu medicine that will temporarily reduce your symptoms and provide you with short term relief. Over the counter medicines will not get rid of the flu. If you are unsure whether or not you have the flu or some other type of illness, take into account your symptoms to help you make the determination. Not all flu symptoms are experienced by everyone who contracts this illness. Some people experience every symptom imaginable while others only experience one or two. One of the most significant symptoms of the flu is a fever; running a fever is one of the most obvious symptoms that you have the flu versus the common cold. Since the symptoms of the flu and the common cold are so similar, the fever is one of the easiest ways to differentiate between the two. Along with a potential fever, people suffering from the flu can experience other symptoms that include a runny nose, congestion, a sore throat and chills. Body aches and fatigue will accompany these symptoms. Unlike the common cold, symptoms of the flu are quick to appear. You will wake up one morning feeling horrible with a myriad of symptoms. With the common cold, you will begin experiencing symptoms over several days until one day the culmination of all of your symptoms makes you feel terrible. With the flu, this happens immediately. Fortunately, symptoms of the flu often recede more quickly than those of the flu. If you experience symptoms in addition to regular flu symptoms you should contact your doctor immediately. Many illnesses share the same symptoms and it is always best to practice precaution.
Is the turtle flu caused by pollution?
There is no disease that people get that is officially called Turtle Flu, however, there may be some people who call the gastrointestinal infection caused by the bacteria Salmonella, that is common in turtles, "Turtle Flu". It causes symptoms similar to those of "stomach flu". Neither "stomach flu" nor Salmonella infections are really flu/influenza. Flu is a respiratory disease in humans caused by a virus and most influenza viruses are not frequently associated with gastrointestinal symptoms. There are viruses that cause diarrhea and vomiting that are often incorrectly called "stomach flu". The specific virus that causes this is often the Norovirus and not an influenza type of virus. Salmonella is a bacterium found commonly in turtles and you should be warned to not touch them in the wild, and to be sure if you do that you wash your hands as soon as possible to remove any bacteria housed by the turtle. Salmonella is the common bacteria that causes the most prevalent type of "Food Poisoning". My guess would be that people are using the term Turtle Flu to refer to the diarrhea and vomiting that you get from Salmonella transmitted from turtles to humans. It is bacterial and totally different than viral influenza. There is likely no relationship between pollution and Salmonella infections or pollution and viral gastroenteritis. Bacteria are everywhere and Salmonella is a common kind of bacteria (especially in chickens and eggs). There is also likely no causative relationship between real influenza and pollution, except air pollution can definitely worsen any respiratory disease or infection and cause complications and secondary symptoms.
