Afghanistan's only pig quarantined in flu fear KABULMay 5 (Reuters) - Afghanistan's only known pig has been locked in a room, away from visitors to Kabul zoo where it normally grazes beside deer and goats, because people are worried it could infect them with the virus popularly known as swine flu. The pig is a curiosity in Muslim Afghanistan, where pork and pig products are illegal because they are considered irreligious, and has been in quarantine since Sunday after visitors expressed alarm it could spread the new flu strain. "For now the pig is under quarantine, we built it a room because of swine influenza," Aziz Gul Saqib, director of Kabul Zoo, told Reuters. "We've done this because people are worried about getting the flu."

Apparently the latest craze in media driven fear knows no boundaries.

P.S. - I lol'd as one should.

Originally posted by DigiNut I think she might have been using the term "antibiotics" to refer to anti-infection medicines in general - it's colloquial but common. And if I'm not mistaken, the same principles apply: people who run to get Tamiflu every time they have flu-like symptoms and stop their dosage as soon as they feel marginally better are likely to create more resistant strains.

Boo to Purel! Any of those hand sanitizers are scams and definitely do more harm than good.

Thanks for clarifying on that I was half asleep when i wrote that and did mean what you said

I've read somewhere taking antibiotics when you have the cold or flu can weaken the immune system which would make people who would normally be healthy more succeptable to illnesses such as the oink flu?

I think it's more like the more antibiotics we take, the more different viruses will mutate to forgo the strength of the antibiotics

Antibiotics don't affect viruses just the bacteria in your body. Abusing antibiotics can lead to mutated bacteria and a weakened immune system though.

So is this bullshit crisis officially over yet or what?
