| Swine flu scare I was scared yesterday. I was at work and had sudden severe abdominal pains, fever, chills, 5 cycles of vomiting and diarrhea..my body quickly dehydrated, my body was cold and I was on the floor abt to pass out..my boss called the ambulance and I was off to the hospital..6 hrs of having IV fluid, vital signs taken, getting a CAT scan..What fun. Then I was told I had a stomach virus..I'm thinking..wow..guess I should be happy it's not the swine flu..Everyone.stay safe..wash your hands.. |

| I am not overly worried. I view the mainstream media as the "boogy monster" at times... sending the public into a panic rather than giving them the tools to be prepared. We homeschool so I don't have to worry about the boys picking it up at school...but hubby is a nurse so if they have cases at his hospital there is the chance he could bring it home. I will be watching closely to see if an immunization is released early next month like the health officials are saying. The boys and I never get the flu immunization but will if a new one is offered. While it may (probably more like it) not stop you from getting it it can lessen the severity of the symtoms. Luckily from an early age, my boys have been somewhat of germaphobes so they wash their hands often and when we are away from a water source we use the alcohol based germ killers.

| I'm not too worried about it, I'm a freak about washing my hands so I already do that constantly. However, my boyfriend is leaving in the morning for a job in Dallas, TX. Hope he doesn't get sick.

| Swine Flu!!! Anyone else worried?? Swine is a pig and they think it came from pig farms in Mexico, the waste from them goes into the water. That is how I understand it but who knows??? I think our news reporter's don't have anything to talk about but our President, the economy and this flu.

| Yes, I know a swine is a pig but wonder if it has something to do with our climate being so warm and bacteria growing in the water. Lots of other countries do not have the same sanitation qualities the US requires. They have no money. I have lived in aThird world country and know exactly what you are saying. The sanitation proplems have been like this ever since I can remember. Just more people and more waist. But Im still wondering if its because of the warming trend of the earth that allows different bacteria to grow...Your Thoughts. |
