What is Swine Flu?

Do you know what exactly is Swine Flu which is a spreading far and wide in our world? Swine Flu is also referred to as Swine Influenza and is the viral disease which can prove to be fatal in pigs. But, now the human swine flu has been figured out where the virus has been seen to infect humans. The major causative agent of the disease is H1N1 strain of Influenza type A virus.

This disease has become an epidemic now and at the same time we have to eradicate it before it costs more lives. The most important step to be taken is to spread awareness about the same which I will be passing through my blog.

Here, I have brought in the symptoms of H1N1 Flu for easy identification in the form of a figure. This would help many in figuring out their illness and thus testing samples to know more about it.



The symptoms include head ache, body ache, sore throat, fatigue, diarrhoea, fever, vomiting, nausea and chills. A rare symptoms which has still been reported is conjunctivitis even though not in many. Several doctors also conveyed that the disease might become severe in asthma patients. Rush to the hospital to have your samples checked up for the virus if you are exhibiting any of these signs.
