1.) Swine flu viruses change constantly. Over the years, different variations of swine flu viruses have emerged. At this time, there are four main influenza types a virus subtypes that have been isolated in pigs: H1N1, H1N2, H3N2, and H3N1. However, most of the recently isolated flu viruses from pigs have been H1N1 viruses. Swine flu viruses do not normally infect humans, but human infections with swine flu have occurred.
ReplyDelete2.) No, people will not catch swine flu from eating pork. The H1N1 viruses are not transmitted by food. Eating properly handled and cooked pork and pork products are safe. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160°F kills the swine flu virus as it does other bacteria and viruses.

The virus can be directly transmitted from pigs to people and from people to pigs. People may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
Swine flu comes from a virus called influenza,and it may cause , fever, upset stomach,coughing,body aches,vomiting,and even diarrhea. swine flu can usually affect pigs but the strains that come from swine flu can mutate into something that can have effect on humans. scientists are still working on a way to stop swine flu from affecting other people. The place where swine flu is most affective is in mexico,but scientists are still not sure if that's where swine flu originated from.When the swine flu was mutated, it is possible it could have spread from an infected pig to an farmer who had direct contact with the infected pig , and from him to another person. you see when a person coughs of sneezes, he/she releases virus filled droplets that can easily find their way into the body of another person. some cases of swine flu are even deadly.Some viruses are created by other viruses so eve the healthy can get sick because their body doesn't know how to fight the virus, but if the the virus was bacteria, the white blood cells would shoot antibodies at the bacteria. then the bacteria would probably get neutralized, or destroyed. If not treated properly swine flu will not only infect other people, but will also damage your defense system. that's what i think about swine flu.
