H1N1 virus

H1N1, also known as swine flu, is a contagious influenza virus that can spread easily from person to person through coughs, sneezes, or contact with contaminated surfaces. It originated in pigs but adapted to infect humans, causing symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. While many recover quickly, it can be more serious for certain groups, such as young children, pregnant women, or those with existing health conditions. Vaccines and good hygiene practices are effective ways to prevent infection and reduce spread.
