Flu

The flu is an infection that occurs in the respiratory system, affecting the nose, throat and mouth, by the influenza virus.  It is acquired by exposure to the virus that is airborne.  Usually due to changing environmental conditions as well as reactions to these changes, different viruses are born in different parts of the world so rapidly that the human body cannot keep up with defending itself.  The flu virus comes from and circulates from around the world, and no one is able to know exactly what triggers it unless it had already been contracted by a number of people. 

Flu is accompanied by high fever, chills, headaches, sneezing and cough, sore throat, and pains in different parts of the body.  This implies that the condition is sure to disrupt your everyday activities at home, school or work, thus immobilizing you for the duration of the condition, as well as eventually developing to more serious conditions such as pneumonia.  It can be fatal, to some people with weak immune systems, such as the elderly and those who already have some sort of illness to begin with.

Once you catch the flu, you must see you doctor immediately to receive proper medication.
