The need for expert advice - FLU - avoid the BEACH
Flu is short for 'INFLUENZA', a respiratory illness caused by viral infection. There are many types of flu viruses which can infect animals and humans or vice versa. Most people know this...but wow... viruses need the cells to survive, they go through a mutation process in your cell, that is, the genetic adaptation through re assortment or recombination of genes. When airborne, the host could be an animal or a human being...but do you know that Viruses are strongest in droplets of water such as when you sneeze or cough, in aerosol spray or in sea breeze (air blowing over water to form fine spray, this is where surface tension is weakest)...Don't therefore go to the beach at such times and also the reason many people experience flu symptoms after an outing at the beach...wow...not the right place to get fresh air...wowoic!
