| The Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to confirm a growing number of cases of H1N1 Flu (swine flu) in human adults and children living in several U.S. states. These cases are cause for concern, but there is no cause for alarm. The American Lung Association has been helping America respond to lung disease for more than 100 years. We are closely following this rapidly developing issue and have assembled proven advice and resources to help learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones, prevent spread of the infection, and know what to do if you or a loved one gets sick.
Protect yourself
There are simple things you can do to protect yourself and help stop the spread of H1N1 Flu. The most important thing you can do is practice good cold/flu hygiene. Washing your hands often and covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze are two of the simplest and most effective ways to stop the spread of the flu.
If you get sick
If you get mild flu symptoms, stay home to heal more quickly and prevent spread to others. If you get more severe flu symptoms, contact a health care provider. If you get flu symptoms and have had contact with someone who has recently arrived from Mexico, contact a health care provider.
