Swine Flu Question...
 
If you get it once do you ever get it again?

No i doubt it

Your body would be prepared for it

Mrluvaluva 18-07-2009 07:25 PM

Surely you can? You can get normal flu over and over again. :shrug:

It might change each year and become even worse.. Bad times.

I don't think you can

"It is possible to catch swine flu more than once, but not the same strain, since your body has produced antibodies for the first infection. Flu and cold viruses mutate readily--which is why there is no cure for the cold. If you contract a mutated strain, after already having had swine flu, your body may be able to fight it off easier through 'cross protection', ie. already having dealt with a similar virus."

Nope.

You can get the flu, but not the same kind that you had before.

Yeah. Like above.
