What is Swine Flu?
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs that is caused by type A influenza viruses. There are several recommended prevention methods to protect against swine flu. Typically, people do not contract swine flu. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headaches, chills and fatigue, similar to typical flu symptoms. Some report diarrhea and vomiting. Past outbreaks have led to severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and death. There have been reports of contagious swine flu outbreaks in 2009, as well as reports of the infection passing from person to person. The CDC keeps an updated case count of confirmed infections at http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/investigation.htm. Swine flu can spread from infected people beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to seven days after symptoms occur. Children, especially younger children, may be contagious for longer periods. Can I get Swine Flu from eating Pork? No. Swine flu is not transmitted through food or by eating pork or pork products.

Swine Flu Prevention CDC-recommended swine flue prevention methods include the following:

• Wash hands frequently with soap, water or alcohol-based hand cleaner.
• Maintain good general health including getting sufficient sleep, maintaining physical activity, stress management, hydration and good nutrition.
• Avoid touching surfaces that may be contaminated with swine flu.• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. • Avoid close contact with infected people.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze or cough. Immediately dispose of used tissues. Bacteria can live for two hours or longer outside a host. Germs are most often spread by hands touching the eyes, nose or mouth, and then touching other objects or surfaces. Coughs and sneezes can transport the virus through the air.
