Swine Flu: Wash Your Hands!!

Swine Flu – How is it Spread? By Joanne Ott

Swine flu fearsThe spread of the swine flu virus is believed to occur in the same way that other influenza's spread. Flu viruses are passed to other people usually from person to person contact by the coughing or sneezing of those infected with the influenza. People may also become sick by touching a surface or object contaminated with the swine flu or other virus on it and then touching their mouth or nose before doing proper hand washing. This is one reason why handwashing is so very important.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) states that anyone infected with seasonal or swine flu may infect others from one day before getting sick to up to a week after. This can be longer for those considered higher risk. This would include children or those with weakened or impaired immune systems. The swine flu has shown to be very contagious so anyone feeling sick should stay home to avoid spreading it to others,

The CDC recommends this for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone.

The CDC advises that the symptoms of swine flu, are similar to other influenza, and include fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, body aches, fatigue and poor appetite.

One of the most important things we need to remember is frequent hand washing. We should lather our hands well and rub for at least 20 seconds. In addition, a regular liquid soap is preferable, rather than an antibacterial, and liquid soaps are less likely to have contamination instead of bars of soap, which can contain a lot of bacteria.
