SWINE FLU EPIDEMIC

Swine influenza virus is a contagious respiratory disease that normally affects pigs. It is commonly caused by H1N1 strains of influenza virus. During March/April 2009, a new strain of swine influenza virus has emerged in Mexico. The World Health Organization has named it as influenza A (H1N1), and said that it could spread from person to person through tiny droplets, expelled from the mouth and nose of an infected person when they talk, cough or sneeze.

The symptoms of this disease include fever, tiredness, lack of appetite, coughing and sore throat. It also includes vomiting and diarrhea.

There is no vaccine available to cure this disease. Scientists say that it would take another six months to develop an effective vaccine. So precaution is the only way to keep away from this disease. The precaution involves simple steps as follows:-

• TO WASH HANDS FREQUENTLY WITH SOAP AND WATER
• WHEN COUGHING OR SNEEZING, TO COVER THE MOUTH AND NOSE WITH TISSUE PAPER
• TO DISPOSE OFF USED TISSUE PAPERS CAREFULLY BY PUTTING THEM IN A BIN
• TO CLEAN HARD SURFACES FREQUENTLY
• TO ENSURE THAT CHILDREN FOLLOW THIS PRACTISE
• TO EAT FULLY COOKED MEAT

Good hygiene shall always protect us from a wide range of infections.

A R RAHMAN

This post is about my favourite musician Allah Rakha Rahman. Born in Chennai, on January 6, 1966 he was inclined towards music from a very young age. After his father’s demise, he had the responsibility of supporting his family at a very young age itself.

A R RAHMAN was very determined and focused. Ever since he arrived with his film ROJA in Tamil, he has revolutionized the world of music. He has made the whole world to turn towards him. His music is really amazing and it has touched the hearts of million people. He is a Borne Genius. I’m glad that at least now he had received the OSCAR Award, it should have been given to him long back.

The thing that I like about him is his simplicity. Even after reaching great heights, he has never been rude to anyone. I thank the Lord for giving such a mind – blowing talent to Rahman, through which he is keeping us happy.

AIDS – A KILLER DISEASE

This post is to create awareness among the people about the killer disease – AIDS. The disease is one, but hundreds of governments and thousands of dedicated professionals put up a united fight to conquer it. AIDS – this four letter word has send shivers down the spine. This is an infectious disease caused by a virus named HIV. This virus infects the immune system of a person and so, AIDS patients are more vulnerable to serious illnesses and opportunistic diseases than a normal healthy person.

The symptoms of AIDS patients are tiredness, fever, loss of appetite and weight, diarrhea, night sweat and swollen gland usually in the neck, armpit or groin. The time between infection and the out coming of symptoms range from six months to five years or more.

HIV virus spreads from person to person mainly through sexual contact. However a casual contact with AIDS patients does not lead to the disease. Sharing of needles among those, using narcotics and illicit drugs also enhances AIDS infection. Also, a HIV positive mother has the chance of spreading the disease to her child. AIDS is a deadly disease and it can be controlled only if all the people follow the guidelines and the precautions recommended by the Government.
