A Few Cure Swine Flu H1N1 Myths and Truths
With all the roaring and gnashing of teeth involved with the newest flu outbreak, I think it is time we set a couple of matters straight about the swine influenza. Think of it as a little community service announcement just to shock some of you out of that panic and get you thinking straight.
Cooked pork can not possibly be ever contaminated
- 1st off, pork is safe. Yes, I acknowledge it is called cure swine flu but it is nothing comparable to mad cow disease (BSE). That is how come there is a flu at the end rather than disease, of course. The disease spreads thru the same way normal influenza spreads: contact with a infected area or person then contact with either the eyes, nose, or mouth of the prospective contaminated. Cooked pork can not possibly be ever contaminated because cooking and preparation make sure that the meat is clean and fit for consumption. So, yea, no need to worry about the ham and bacon in the supermarket.
The Center for Disease Control has highly advocated their use for the treatment and control of the disease
- 2nd, there is a treatment. Zanamivir and oseltamivir are neuroaminidase inhibitors which is a fancy description of what they do; theyíre a type of antiviral drugs that inhibits cell replication of viruses so that they will not spread in the patient’s body. The Center for Disease Control has highly advocated their use for the treatment and control of the disease. In reality, if you find yourself sick, you can do initial treatment thru the normal nonprescription antibiotics that you use when dealing with the normal flu. This can help make the symptoms more endurable and help your body resist the disease better. Those and quite a bit of bedrest can go a long way to make you feel best.
Even at the peak of the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic, with its more than 50 million worldwide decease count
- 3rd, it is not gonna obliterate us all. Even at the peak of the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic, with its more than 50 million worldwide decease count, the human race wasn’t exactly in peril. Plagues and diseases have been a part of human civilisation and history for a long time. Humans have a way of enduring and infections in time burn out, one of the disadvantages of killing your hosts too rapidly. The bodycount might pile high but no natural disease can annihilate the human species that well. Also, like I mentioned earlier, it’s treatable and you are able to recover from it.
A disease can easily be warded off
- 4th, it’s not that contractable. OK, yes, it’s transmittable, but like all diseases it has its specific infection transmitters and if you know those transmitters, a disease can easily be warded off. In this case, swine influenza it may be, but it is still the flu. This means it spreads through the contact points I said earlier. Regularly washing your hands prior to eating is a step in the right direction and, also, not hanging around sick folks, though that one should be pretty obvious.
The description maybe a little vague and the name exotic, but it is still the flu in the first place
- 5th, it is still the influenza. The description maybe a little vague and the name exotic, but it is still the flu in the first place. You will know you are from it the same way you know you are sick from the flu: colds, coughs, chills, and fatigue. That is the initial stuff though. If you were bright, you would have taken your antibiotics and decreased the effects. If you are OK after a couple of days, that was just the normal influenza. All the same, if the symptoms prevail, and you start to vomit or start to suffer from diarrhoea, then it’s swine influenza and you better call for a doctor. Cure Swine Flu
Well, that is all then. Hopefully, these pieces of information help clear up a few things about the swine influenza and help you to undestand the currect situation the world is in.
