Understanding the Flu and Keeping You and Your Family Safe!

Understanding the Flu

It seems like everyone will sometime get the H1N1 disease, also known as swine flu. It's not even flu season yet and I along with many other of my family and friends are suffering from the swine flu. It is not fun. It is hard to tell whether you have the regular flu or the swine flu. The only thing that worries about the flu is how you treat it.

Unfortunately, there is no medication one can take that instantly gets rid of the flu. You must take medication only to make you feel better while the flu slowly goes away. Tamiflu is one of the flu medicines that will help someone feel better. Just recently, it was announced that there is a shortage of Tamiflu since everyone these days has the flu! If you search long enough and call more pharmacies, you will probably find one with Tamiflu.

Protecting Yourself from the Flu

Taking these few easy steps will allow you to avoid catching that not-so-fun disease called the flu.

-Wash your hands regularly. The flu is spread with contact with other people. When you are washing your hands, you get rid of all those germs you got when you came in contact with that person.

-Use Germ X. Germ X is a lotion type substance that supposedly killing 99.9% of germs!

-Stay away from sick people. If you are around someone who has the flu, you will most likely get it. If you distance yourself away from them, you will hopefully avoid the chances of getting sick.

-If many people at work or school are all sick, stay home so you do not get it!

-Cover your nose or mouth when you cough.
