Fuck Yeah Swine Flu

Swine Flu

sweetpeabanana:

Though I will never get up on a pulpit and tell people to freely  eat pork (NOT a fan), I would like to defend the little piggies and make sure you all know that you cannot get swine flu from eating pig. (You can get other things, but not swine flu.) Here is what the CDC has to say about it:

“Swine influenza viruses are not spread by food. You cannot get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe.”

“Spread of this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.”
