A NEW strain of swine flu virus has killed a few hundred in Mexico and is causing illness to many in the United States. In order to stop the spread of this flu we need to pay attention to health warnings and take precautions.
Pigs spread their own strains of influenza to humans after contact with them. But, medical experts are saying the new strain of virus is a mix of pig viruses with some human and bird viruses.
Unlike more typical and common swine flu, it seems to be spreading from one person to another. Flu viruses can live on surfaces for several hours, like a doorknob, latches and handles. Swine influenza viruses don’t spread through food.
