Amitsu Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 fail. but the only way to get it is to come in contact with a mexican that has it or anyone else that has it that has been to mexico and got it.

Devotion Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 All over my school there are pictures posted on bulletin boards of a small kid licking the snout of a pig, saying to wash your hands and stay sanitary. You cannot get the swine flu from pigs...that picture is so ignorant and it's in a school.
Terroryst Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 and i think i have it. ;c or a normal flu. The symptoms are kind of the same as a flu, a little bit worse I believe. You get them the same way, by getting exposed to germs and whatnot. So wash your hands every time you beat off and blow your nose.

You cannot get the swine flu from pigs...that picture is so ignorant and it's in a school. that's true, you can only get it from people with it who got it from pigs ONLY from mexico OR other people who got it from other people or pigs from mexico. lol mezri flu D8
Terroryst Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 I don't think you literally get it from pigs. Each virus subtype has mutated into a variety of strains with differing pathogenic profiles; some pathogenic to one species but not others, some pathogenic to multiple species.
Akachan Kira- Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 Hai, you do get it from pigs, hence the name "SWINE" flu. It's very possible to get a disease from animals. Disease from animals Rabies - any infected animal Bird flu - figure it out for yourself AIDs - monkeys, baby! toxoplasma gondii - Cats. Doesn't really do anything, but hey.. Could eventually. Salmonella - chickens and turkeys There's a lesson to learn here; Animals are only good for eating. If they stay alive, they give us AIDs. Kill 'em all!
Kuyuti Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 It isn't 100% Swine Flu. It is an evolved version of the Swine Flue or H1N1 A as they are calling it. It contains strands of Avian and Regular Human Flu. Right now the panic is the treatment. The Flu is so unpredictable but it is just like any other Flu. It is still Treatable by a few medications but with its rapid escalation in fever is what seems to scare people the most. No one has died from the flu but they have died because of the effects of the flu : Pneumonia. Basically if you get the flu you are advised to treat it like anything else. Don't panic or raise your anxiety levels because then you will raise your fever and then youw ill be in critical. Tons of people of recovering and its Death ratio is really low. This is nothing to panic about So just don't fall into the medias depiction of the scenario. Swine Flu (H1N1 A) is hardly lethal ^^ Swine Flu is a flu the Pigs can get and if a pig with swine flu is killed and eaten raw or has not been cooked at the appropriate temperatures ( 160 degrees) then that is how the virus spreads.
Millenia Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 I thought it couldn't be caught by eating pork.
Akachan Kira- Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 .... It's Swine Flu.. Even if it is mutated, the reason they called it Swine flu is because it came from pigs originally, so of course you can get it from pork
Millenia Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 It apparently can't be caught by eating potentially infected pork. Doesn't make so much sense but that's how it is.
teacupx Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 wow, of course you can get the flu from a pig, that's why it's called swine flu. and also, it doesn't matter if the pork is cooked or not. this is a respiratory flu, so handling raw pork will not give you the swine flu. even eating raw pork wont, but then you'd get salmonella and other shit. -_-
teacupx Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 are you aiming this towards me? I'm confused. You're agreeing with me.
Nick Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Posted May 5, 2009 k turned out to be some srs infection (but not an intns flu / swine flu). Feeling a lot better already, I'm on medication for it.
