Question

Identify the disease.

• A. Bird Flu
• B. Swine Flu
• C. Dengue
• D. Rabies

Answer 1

The correct option is B Swine Flu

Swine Flu is a respiratory disease caused by influenza virus. The virus affects the respiratory tract of pigs and can be transmitted to humans through any contact with pigs.

• It is an air borne disease and so can be transmitted from an infected person to a healthy human when respiratory droplets released while coughing or sneezing are inhaled.
• It can spread through saliva. So sharing food or kissing is not advisable at all.
• Skin to skin contact or contact with a contaminated surface can be one of the causes too.

Some of the symptoms include fever, sneezing, coughing, body pains, difficulty in breathing, weight loss and decreased appetite.
