What are the symptoms of swine flu? How to cure from this disease? Is it dangerous to stand near swine?

Question

Swine flu is a respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses that infect the respiratory tract of pigs and result in a barking cough, decreased appetite, nasal secretions, and listless behavior; the virus can be transmitted to humans. Swine flu viruses may mutate (change) so that they are easily transmissible among humans. Symptoms of swine flu in humans are similar to most influenza infections: fever (100 f or greater), cough, nasal secretions, fatigue, and headache. Swine flu is transmitted from person to person by inhalation or ingestion of droplets containing virus from people sneezing or coughing; it is not transmitted by eating cooked pork products.
