The outbreak of swine flu has created fear around the globe. The sudden death of 17 people in Mexico opened our eyes to this new pandemic. Swine flu one of most deadly diseases is supposed to be found only in pigs. However, it passed on to humans taking us unawares. Though the situation is not worse in Texas, the government is still getting the city prepared to face this medical challenge. Mexico that shares a long border with Texas is the worst hit; however, Texas is still on a safer side.
Although there are few cases reported in Texas, people are not isolated or asked to stay indoors. You can very much see crowds getting out to shop and dine. However, one does fear to going anywhere near the border. With serious conditions in Mexico, Texas wants to brace up and meet the challenge of fighting swine flu. This life threatening disease spreads from human to human just like normal flu.
Human immune system is not strong enough to fight back swine flu. This virus contains bird and pig particles which our immune system is not designed to fight. However, the government in Texas is prepared with anti virus medicines like Tamiflu that can restrict the virus from multiplying. As of now there is no vaccine that can cure swine flu and this has led to severe panic among the citizens of US. Masks are being used to cover the nose and mouth as a protection from the deadly flu.
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of normal or seasonal flu. The health department of Texas is urging people to visit the nearby clinics instantly on experiencing any flu symptoms. Chills, coughs, fever; fatigue, head and body aches; vomiting, dizziness and diarrhea are some of the symptoms. Citizens are asked to stay away from people who show these signs. The security at the airports and other transport routes is beefed up to make sure no infected person enters the city of Texas.
Few years back due to the outbreak of SARS and bird flu, the hospitals and doctors are prepared with equipments and vaccines that can do some good to fight the swine flu. At the same time people are asked to maintain high level of hygiene and eat healthy food. Include more of fruits and vegetables that can strengthen your immune system. Make sure you eat freshly cooked food and indulge in plenty of vitamins. Wash your hands frequently with medicated soap to get rid of virus if any. Wear clean clothes.
The health department of Texas is busy collecting samples from people to make sure the disease is not spreading widely and to isolate and quarantine infected people. Experts and scientist are trying hard to find a permanent solution to this pandemic. For time being medicine that can control the virus is used to save people suffering from swine flu.
Texas State is all geared up to take instant measures to help the infected and protect the others.
