Swine Influenza(swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virused(H1N1 subtype) that caused regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but infections can and do happen.
Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person to person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.
Spread of this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth nose.
Infected people may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symtoms develop and up to 7 or more days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.
First and most important: wash your hands. Try to stay in good general health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. Try not touch surfaces that may be contaminated with the flu virus. Avoid contact with people who are sick
