You may become weak and breathless and develop a dry, unproductive cough. You may have touched a doorknob after someone else who had the virus. Someone may have coughed or sneezed near you. It doesn't take much to spread the flu because it is highly contagious, AND it mutates. Yes, the flu virus is constantly mutating, changing forms, so that our body can't build up a resistance to it.
Flu infects millions of people every year, and it can cause death.
If the victim is over 50 years old, a child, or if they have an immune-deficiency disorder, the flu can lead to pneumonia and a number of secondary infections. For people over 65, flu and pneumonia are the fifth leading cause of death. People who receive the flu shot each year can cut down the incidences of flu cases, and the shot is 70-90 percent effective for about six months. This can be especially helpful for older people, pregnant women, and patients who already have cardiac or respiratory problems. Take a combination of bitter orange, sunflower, and coriander.
