the virus is already here in our country. two cases have been continously monitored and the number of infected people may rise if not prevented.. i'm worried coz i'm prone to these viruses coz my lungs are weak since childhood. i'm now taking ascorbic acids and multivitamins to protect myself. but i'm still worried. do you know other ways to avoid this illness? pls. share. thanks

I always wash my hand with soap anytime i back to my home. I also gargling whenever i come back from outside. Those are the effective way to preventing ourselves from flu. But i don't know whether it's effective for preventing from swine flu or not. But it's worth to try. Having at least 500mg of vitamin C should helpful too. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Do not interact with crowed people and keep yourself clean.Anyway,this virus is not so serious,much better than SARS,so have a relaxed mind also make yourself strong!

Don't go to Mexico! A joke in between. Seriously, I heard they have everything under control. There are good medications, and it is treatable. If you feel you have symptoms, go to the doctor as fast as possible. The sooner they find it, the easier it is to be treated. Maybe you could go for a check-up. Just to make sure. I don't think there is anything to worry about anymore. But, to play it safe all you can do is go to the doctor. Take care. Have a nice day.
