The Swine Flu: Do you consume anti-viral herbs or foods?

Tweet

A new swine flu outbreak was announced this week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of the 145 confirmed cases of influenza A (H3N2), 113 were in Indiana, with 40 in Ohio and one in both Illinois and Hawaii. But the count is expected to go up, with two more people hospitalized and seven other unconfirmed new cases in Indiana that brought the total there up to 120. The swine flu outbreak has been particularly prevalent among younger patients. The majority of patients with swine flu symptoms are age 16 and younger. It's believed to be caused by human-to-pig contact at state fairs over the summer. The swine flu strain has the same symptoms as the average flu. Most people recover within a few days, and in the rare cases that the flu is severe, antiviral drugs have been proven effective. Some ways to avoid getting the swine flu are to wash hands regularly and consume and use anti-viral herbs and foods. Some anti-viral foods and herbs I use are yarrow tea, garlic and cayenne.
