Theories on the swine flu origin have been flying around ever since thousands of
people have been affected by the new strain of influenza that had pandemic potential.
While pigs are officially blamed for this, it was confirmed that the new flu virus had
genetic relatives had swine flu strains from Eurasia and North America. Furthermore, it
was proved that the genetic material was derived from human, swine and avian
sources but all the eight segments of genes came from pigs.

What has worried the World Health Organization and other Health Authorities all over
the world is the fact that the new strain of influenza flu has genetic material that is
different from the genetic material of known relative strains that are known. Therefore
the bug that circulated and no doubt evolved in swine remained undetected till the first
person was infected. Thus it proves that there were no early warning signs or systems.

What caused further concern is that officials in Canada confirmed that this new strain
was transmitted to pigs from humans in Alberta. Pigs are natural vessels for mixing of
flu strains from various species, so there is a fear that a more dangerous form of flu
could emerge from the swine and be transmitted back into people. The studies that
have been conducted do not really prove why the virus has crossed over to people and
why it is the young and healthy, which are harder hit! This works the opposite way for
the seasonal flu that seems to kill old people every winter. The answer to this may be
the fact that older people have been around longer to build immunity against the new
strain of flu, whereas the younger people seem to have little or no immunity at all.

One of the ways to reduce the risk of infection is by keeping surfaces around you
clean and free of viruses. This can be done by spraying the Smittstopp spray on all the
surfaces. This spray works well on any surface material and sticks/bonds strongly to it.
The spray dries quickly, leaving a layer of cationic polymer that is positively charged on
the surface. This layer attracts all microorganisms (viruses and bacteria) that are
negatively charged (anionic) to it and when these get stuck to the surface, they destroy
them instantaneously. This principle is called “electrostatic attraction” and it is
extremely efficient in killing the viruses and keeping the surfaces free of all
contamination.

The Smittstopp spray should be used on personal items like hand bags, purses, keys,
mobile phones and other items that are constantly being touched or handled and
which can easily get infected. The Smittstopp spray should also be used by
Government Authorities in all public places like toilets, government offices, terminals,
shopping malls, restaurants and hotels, schools and colleges. Table tops, lift buttons,
taps, door knobs, handles, railings etc are likely places to be contaminated and should
be sprayed.

Common sprays should not be used on the sprayed surfaces because these are
negatively charged and will neutralize the effect of the positively charged cationic
polymer. The spray removes all grease, fats and dirt from the surface and acts like a
disinfectant. This spray can also be used on clothes and the effect of the Smittstopp
spray is still evident after 20 washes.

Despite the theories of the swine flu origin, one should realize the importance of
following all precautionary measures to keep the infection at bay and to curb the swine
flu outbreak. Wearing of facemasks and respirators and washing ones hands
frequently will help.
