I just saw my best friend yesterday, but today she was out of school with the flu. I know it’s really contagious and now I am TERRIFIED that I’m going to get it too. How long does it take for the symptoms to show up? And what would some early symptoms be?
I read on the internet, from an unofficial source, that the swine flu virus only lasts for about 2 hours outside its host. I know some viruses, such as hepatitis B, can last for up to 6 months outside its host. Does anyone know the actually answer backed up scientifically?
I’m doing a project about the avian flu and I can’t find this particular part that I need can anyone help?
We were visiting my in laws last weekend when my MIL came down with the flu. We left early (Saturday) and so far everyone has been fine. We were thinking we were in the clear, but I’m feeling like I’m getting something today. It’s been 5 days since I could have last been exposed. Could it still be that same flu?
So I worked very closely with a co-worker yesterday for several hours. Today she didn’t come into work because she was sick, went to the doctor and it turns out she has swine flu. If I caught it from her when would I start to see symptoms? What are the initial symptoms? I know I would eventually have more obvious flu symptoms but I am wondering about some that I might overlook like a cough or something.
Does it feel exactly the same as a cold, or is it more like a severe flu? My partner, who may have been exposed to the virus, is exhibiting cold symptoms but no outbreaks or lesions on his penis.
I went to New York City on Saturday and just now heard about the swine flu. I’m a little concerned so if anyone could tell me how long it takes for symptoms to appear and any additional info would be great.
my friend’s daughter was sick with the stomach flu on Thursday, and she last threw up early this morning- has been fine and eating normally ever since. We have a play date tomorrow afternoon- will my kids be exposed or will she no longer be contagious?
3 days ago i met with a friends and yesterday he went to the hospital with high fever and feeling dizzy. the doctors said he has all the symptoms of swine flu and i was just wandering if i feel absolutely fine does that mean that i didn’t take the virus from him or does it take a couple of days for the symptoms to manifest?
I am curious to know from someone from the medical field. How long will a person be sick after contracting the Type A flu virus? I know someone who has been sick for one week now with no signs of getting better. Thank you.
