Phew, that's a lot to go through, fellow Earthlings!
Seing how we have relatively negligible roles in climate change and the financial crisis, let's take care of our health instead!
Symptoms of Swine Flu:
- Fever (37.8 °C and above) and one of more signs of the following
- head and body aches
- lethargy
- lack of appetite
- cough
- runny nose
- chills
- trouble breathing
- sore throat
- nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhea
So similar to regular flu eh! But don't dismiss them and visit the doctor ASAP! It is said that swine flu is best treated within 48 hours of symptoms surfacing.
Prevention:
- ensuring everyone washes their hands regularly and thoroughly with use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers and water
- cleaning surfaces regularly
- CATCH IT. BIN IT. KILL IT. (always carrying tissues to cover your mouth and nose when you cough and sneeze, binning the tissues as soon as possible, washing your hands regularly)
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, as those are direct entry points for viruses.
- Avoid contact with sick people
- Increase immunity by eating more fruits and taking in more fluids
