H1 N1 Swine Symptoms
With all of the media abuzz about H1N1 swine symptoms; you may be wondering what all the hype is about. H1N1 is a new type of influenza that is spreading throughout the United States. H1N1 swine symptoms were first found in people in the U.S. in April, 2009. H1N1 swine flu is spread in a similar manner as seasonal flu is spread. As with seasonal flu, H1N1 is spread from person to person through coughing and sneezing. Another way that swine flu is spread is when a person’s hand comes in contact with an object or surface and then that person’s nose or mouth is touched by their hand.

Centers for Disease Control studies have found that few adults under sixty years old and no children have antibodies to H1N1 flu virus. Approximately seventy percent of people that have been hospitalized for swine flu, have had pre-existing medical conditions that have put them at higher risk for contracting swine flu. The high risk medical conditions include pregnancy, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and asthma. Another fact that is interesting is that adults older than sixty-four years of age do not seem to be at greater risk of H1N1 swine flu symptoms.
H1N1 swine symptoms include fever, soar throat, cough, runny nose and or stuffy nose, headache, body aches, fatigue, and chills. Others have also had the vomiting and diarrhea. Some people that have been infected with swine flu have had respiratory symptoms without any sign of fever. Unfortunately severe illness and death have also been reported. The good news is that the majority of people who have contracted swine flu have recovered without the need of medical attention.
