With the swine flu having reached the U.S. and parts of Europe, people are starting to panic about how widespread the virus will become. As a result, all sorts of myths and rumors have emerged regarding the illness. As always, this blog is here to provide nothing but the facts regarding this powerful threat.
Depending on your region of the globe, swine flu has many names, including ‘hog cough,’ ‘pig pneumonia’ and ‘bacon bronchitis.’ Questions raged early on about how it spreads, with many medical professionals believing it stems from people having “relations” with pigs. That of course has been dismissed. Now medical professionals believe it’s linked to people having relations with infected pigs. Doctors are also warning that swine flu can be spread whenever a police officer sneezes on you.
Symptoms include fever, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, curly tail, snorting when you laugh, refusing to clean up after yourself, making derogatory comments towards women, and tasting delicious with applesauce.
Many worried citizens have confused their swine flu symptoms with those of the bird flu, but it’s important to remember that bird flu symptoms include fever, coughing, sore throat, worm breath and pooping on cars.
If you in fact have swine flu, your doctor will likely suggest a steady diet of fruits and vegetables, a few prescription pain killers, and 5-6 gallons of water sipped from a trough.
Health officials have announced that everything within a 15-mile radius of Senator Henry Waxman’s house is currently under quarantine.
