Swine Flu


Questioner

Recommended Posts

It depends. Most people that is true, but for some reason if you have a strong immune system it could hit harder than normal. This is due to the body's reaction going overboard. Good luck with it.

How is your flu different than the normal, if you can tell? I am curious.

No, I do not have swine flu. Reason why? I wouldn't be alive to tell. Swine flu is only detectable from doing a lab study on a swab of cotton that they prod at the back of your nasal cavity (essentially your throat) and the test results don't come until after three weeks.

This explains why most cases are already dead before they know they have swine flu.

But I am recovering, hence no swine flu. That or I have a super immune system that might be kidnapped in order to save countless lives.

I am hoping for the first case.

swine flu isn't any more deadly than regular flu, just more contagious. during my unit's recent trip to australia where we were living in giant tents for 30 days, 37 people got sick with flu like symptoms, of which 12 were confirmed to have swine flu (the others weren't tested). no one died. swine flu really isn't as big a deal as the media likes to make it out to be.

edit: valek has it right. (for once? ;))

WRONG. Don't spread misleading health information on the internet.

Entirely untrue. Swine flu, in most cases, does not even require treatment or hospitalization. In fact, a significant of people who get it don't even realize - hence why it is so easily spread.

Dude only swines can get swine flu, didn't any of you learn anything?! *GOD* NO seriously though Swine flu is like any flu if your old or newly born you may possibly have a chance to die from it, or if you are sick from other diseases and such that lower your immune system you can die from it. However you can die from a lot of things so...

Wtf if up with people on these forums lately. Do I really need to put up a disclaimer on this?

*DISCLAIMER*

***I did not have swine flu, I had seasonal flu, despite having had the seasonal flu mist vaccination shot up my nostrils***

Did i feel like dying? Yes. Was it swine flu? No. Am I claiming to be the worlds leading medic on swine flu? Absolutely not. And who the heck would believe information from a mud forum about health issues?

IF YOU HAVE ANY FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS, GO TO YOUR DOCTOR OR PEDIATRICIAN.
