The Swine Influenza, better known as the Swine Flu, is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by a type of influenza virus. At the latest update, (April 27th 2009) about 150 people have died of the Swine Flu in Mexico, and 0 in the United States. Swine Flu causes symptoms very similar to seasonal (or human) flu. The most common symptoms of swine flu, like seasonal flu, are fever, cough, and sore throat and can include body aches, head aches, chills, and fatigue. Some people also have diarrhea and vomiting. If you have symptoms of influenza as described above, and especially if you have recently traveled to an area where there have been human cases of swine flu, contact your health care provider. Thank you for reading this article. I feel good knowing I got this important and serious message out to you.
