Swine Flu Prevention

Swine Flu Prevention

Get yourself a Respirator / Flu Mask asap!

The transmission from swine to human is believe to occur mainly in swine farms where farmers are in close contact with live pigs. Although strains of swine influenza are usually not able to infect humans this may occasionally happen, so farmers and veterinarians are encouraged to use a Respirator / Flu Mask when dealing with infected animals.

Influenza spreads between humans through coughing or sneezing and people touching something with the virus on it and then touching their own nose or mouth.

The swine flu in humans is most contagious during the first five days of the illness although some people, most commonly children, can remain contagious for up to ten days.

Diagnosis can be made by sending a specimen, collected during the first five days for analysis.

Respirator / Flu Mask and other devices can help to prevent breathing in the virus, or spreading it to other people, here are some choices here.

Recommendations to prevent spread of the virus among humans include using standard infection control against influenza. This includes frequent washing of hands with soap and water or with alcohol-based hand sanitizers, especially after being out in public..

But most doctors say that doing just this won't prevent swine flu all togethor as most of the cases coming in are from coughing and sneezing, so if you travel alot, buy a Respirator / Flu Maskto help prevent swine flu
