Symptoms:
Influenza A virus infection (swine flu) can cause a wide range of symptoms, including
• fever
• cough,
• sore throat
• body aches, headache
• chills and
• fatigue.
Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu.
** i stand corrected. H1N1 as airborne or not is still debated, so again:
No need to panic, presence of mind in time of chaos is as good as having a full battle gear...
