Exotic Green Eyes asked:


I asked this and put it in a category that only got one answer, so I’m asking again… Just a concerned Mom… I got jeans from eBay in the mail today and it came from someone who had the flu and I forgot and touched them… I just don’t want to bring it in our household. I have the clothing in the washer on sanitize. Please don’t say I’m stupid for asking because some viruses can stick to clothing… I stupidly tried them on too, I totally forgot she had told me she had the flu and that was the reason for the delay in shipment. Somebody please ease my mind!!

Swine Flu Facts

Author:

Eric Kampel asked:


Swine influenza – Swine influenza or swine flu is a respiratory disease in pigs caused by the type A H1N1 swine influenza virus (SIV). Humans in close proximity to swine could contract swine influenza if the swine are carrying the rare strain of the SIV that is capable of affecting humans.

SymptomsSwine flu symptoms in humans are generally similar to regular flu (influenza) symptoms and include muscle pain, runny nose, sore throat, cough, headache, lack of appetite, fever, chills, and general weakness and discomfort. Other reported symptoms are nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Transmission – Swine flu spreads from pigs to humans when humans are close to infected pigs. People working in barns or visiting livestock exhibits housing infected pigs are likely to get affected. Transmission from humans to humans can occur when the infected individual coughs or sneezes when others are close by. Putting one’s hands to the nose or mouth after touching anything with the flu viruses on it could also spread the infection. Consuming well-cooked pork and pork products won’t cause infection as cooking to an internal temperature of 160°F kills bacteria and viruses, including the swine flu virus.

Treatment and medication – While swine flu can generally be cured by the four antiviral drugs approved for curing flu in the US, amantadine, rimantadine, oseltamivir and zanamivir, the recent 2009 swine flu outbreak viruses have been found to be resistant to the first two drugs. Oseltamivir and zanamivir are now recommended for treatment and prevention of swine influenza.

Prevention – Swine flu can be prevented by taking certain precautionary measures, such as washing hands frequently with soap or an alcohol-based hand wash. Staying away from infected individuals is important as their coughing or sneezing could spread the infection. If instances of infection are reported in your locality, stay indoors as far as possible. Swine flue vaccine could be out by June 2009.

To provide more info.. I am a electrical engrg student, and am current trying to see if I can detect this virus electrically. I have read somewhere that this virus has a zeta potential of about a 100mV (perhaps under very good conditions) when immersed in a solution of a certain pH value. I like to know how do I determine its electrical potential at a distance from the surface of this virus, if it is immersed in a solution … Also, I am trying to see if a influenza A virus has an associated electrical charge , so that I can model it electrically… Greatly appreciate any help :)

Yes, you must’ve heard it already. Spine Flu is no more a virgin word. It’s caused by spine influenza virus that usually affects pigs. However, the new swine flu having prospective ecumenical affects is a new strain of virus, H1N1 strain, A type, containing genes of the swine influenza.

News is spreading like wild fire with warning that the swine flu can be transmitted via aerial droplets, for example when sneezing, or via saliva or feces. Clinical symptoms generally seen are: fever, widespread pain, fatigue, nose catarrh and cough.

There have been cases in Mexico reported to have human-to-human transmission. Although many countries have been controlling airplanes to stop the virus from turning into an epidemic, there was a 25 year old man tested positive in Hong Kong recently.

Although it was said that the virus might not touch Asia, Hong Kong has gone frantic with its attempts to isolate the person affected and give him appropriate treatment. They have actually tried tracking down every person who possibly had contact with the man while his travel from Mexico via Shanghai.

There were two taxi drivers who assisted the Mexican and if they are infected and they don’t appear, there shall be bad consequences. It’s a critical time in Hong Kong.

The attendants in the hotels where the Mexican was staying were quarantined for seven days. It is however an international joke that the Metropark hotel has been locked up even though most people in the hotel have not even contacted with the infected man and overseas tourist are under vigilance for seven days.

China is soon to suspend all flights from Mexico to avoid further prospective infects. These frenetic preventive steps are because they’ve been through a painful epidemic with painful nostalgia carrying it, the SARS breakout which had taken away many innocent lives in its vicious circle.

Gearing up to fight the disease with facial masks in restaurants and on public transport, the spirit of the city hasn’t dampened as it hasn’t canceled any concerts and shows that are scheduled to happen in Hong Kong. Prevention is surely better than cure, but there isn’t any harm having fun while prevention. Don’t you think?

Byrd asked:


What about the flu outbreak we have seen in the U.S. this season? Will the flu shot protect against all types of the influenza virus? Can you get the flu from the flu shot? Why do we have to get a new influenza vaccine every year? Why isn’t there a vaccine against the common cold?

im mostly concerned if it will make us less likely to get over our sicknesses (we are both sick) being that we potetially carry different variances of the influenza virus. HEEEEEEEEEEELp.

More gravy than grave asked:


i’m not because of: mercury content, microchips, and the fact that vaccinated people can still get sick. and after all is said and done i’ll be immune anyway. Seriously ask yourself how can the virus mutate every frikin year? HIV has been around since the 50′s and it’s only mutated once. Either Influenza virus DOESN’T mutate that often and they want us to think it does, OR they’re engineering different viral DNA every year and releasing it into the population. We should have the same Flu virus that we had last year..and if it DOES mutate that often then 1 vaccine wouldn’t defend anyone against the multitude of viral DNA variations….think about it….and if there are so many mutations how do they always get the right vaccine designed for that specific mutation?

michelle_my_belle16 asked:


I have to make a 3D model of the avian flu virus. Would this look the same as any other strain of the influenza virus. I’m asking because the only pictures I can find online are of the regular influenza virus, not avian influenza, and I’m hoping I can just use one of those.

Let me know what you think.

The recent swine flu outbreak in Mexico has caused much trepidation among the international community, especially because of the increasing number of fatalities. It is important to recognize swine flu symptoms to prevent the spread of infection and illness.

Swine flu or swine influenza is a respiratory infection caused by the influenza type A virus, endemic in domestic pigs. In the past, swine flu has infected people only rarely – those infected being ones who have had direct and close contact to infected pigs. But the current swine flu outbreak in Mexico is different, caused by a new strain of the swine flu virus. As per recent health reports, swine flu is being transmitted with surprising speed in humans, spreading easily from person to person, causing serious illness among those infected. It has been reported that the disease has been diagnosed in humans who haven’t had any exposure to pigs.

Among pigs, swine flu symptoms include sudden onset of fever, depression, coughing, sneezing, breathing difficulties, redness or inflammation of the eye, going off feed, and discharge from the nose or eyes.

Like the influenza virus affecting humans, swine flu viruses are constantly mutating. Although the swine flu viruses are not the same as human flu viruses, swine flu symptoms resemble those produced by regular human seasonal influenza. In humans, common swine flu symptoms are fever, chills, sore throat, muscle pain, severe headache, coughing, lethargy, lack of appetite, weakness, and general discomfort. Some may even experience runny or stuffy nose, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

However in humans, self care measures and appropriate treatment in the early stages of infection can reduce the increased risk of these complications. In order to confirm that the illness is the result of a swine flu virus, one must undergo laboratory testing. Antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu and Relenza are considered effective for the treatment and/or prevention of infection by swine flu viruses.
