Swine Flu

As the name implies, swine flu is influenza that had its origin with swine (commonly known as pigs), and is also known as hog flu and swine influenza. This is essentially a normal flu for pigs, and animals do get ill, just as humans do, but the danger arises when there is transmission of the virus from swine to humans. At that point, once someone is infected by a flu from another species, it can become a major health risk. The contagious element of this flu is particularly frightening, but the real danger is something from a science fiction movie.

Pigs can harbor both human and avian strains of flu, in addition to their own, which provides the virus with a dangerous opportunity to create a blend of the three that may be impossible (or very difficult) to treat. Swine flu is at the root cause of the recent H1N1 scares across the world, and while a great deal of preventative measures are in place, swine flu is still a very real threat.

Initially thought to have first spread to human populations through swine farmers or those with close contact with sick animals, this disease can be deadly, and the fear of a global pandemic has made global governments stand up and pay attention. There are treatments for swine flu, including antiviral treatments, but certain strains have already developed resistance to some drugs. This has caused many people to seek out home remedies for swine flu, and these should be considered in conjunction with more formal treatment, given how contagious and potentially deadly swine flu can be.
