Honey vs Swine Flu -H1N1
Swine flu (H1N1) is a viral infection that causes a respiratory disease in pigs. This is caused by a type A flu virus (swine influenza virus) that usually does not infect humans.

Close interaction with pigs and viral mutation allows the virus to be transmitted from pig to human (zoonotic infection). This human-pig transmission does not mean that this current epidemic is isolated to those farm workers with close interaction with pigs. Swine flu can be transmitted from human to human and it is this human-human transmission that proves to be the most worrying.

Flu is caused by a virus, spread by droplet infection. By Coughs and sneezes from people who have caught the virus and it can spread very rapidly.

Typical symptoms include a high fever, aching limbs, sore throat, cough and general weakness
