The H1N1 strain is a concern to health care professionals because of its uniqueness. The virus did multiply during summer a season when the influenza virus lies dormant. So the big issue is that it may propagate highly during a favorable climate in the winter. This is the time when children are in school and thus a good ground for an epidemic.

The virus has no cure and it will take long before many people get the flu shot so it is very important that every individual put in preventive measures in themselves, their homes, offices , public areas and any in hospitals.

Don’t forget that you have an obligation towards society even if you choose to ignore your own safety. If you don’t follow prevention recommendations it is not only your health that you are putting at risk but everyone else’s. In today’s world, filled with airplanes, intercontinental traveling and world-wide trade, a careless individual represents a threat to the entire world.

The following are some of the things that you can do to prevent the spread of the swine flu;

• As much as possible avoid public places

• Practice good hand washing and if you have children train them on the same.

• Cover your mouth when sneezing.

• Stay  home if you or your children have flu symptoms.

• Boost your immune system by eating healthy foods  and by taking vitamin C and cod liver oil. They are readily available.

Make sure your children follow these recommendations as well, they are in the high risk group and it is easy for them to spread the disease. If possible they should also be vaccinated against the H1N1 flu.

The above measures are easy to comply with compared to the effects of the flu. It is therefore very important that people take charge and be very responsible at such times. This will greatly help fight H1N1.
