What is Swine Influenza “A” (H1N1)?
Swine flu is a respiratory disease commonly found in pigs. For more than a century, this type of virus has been
observed in both humans and swine. In 1918 a swine influenza outbreak called the Spanish flu affected
people around the world and killed as many as 100 million people. This epidemic was caused by an
exceptionally virulent strain of the Influenza “A” virus strain (H1N1).
The strain of swine influenza “A” that is currently causing concern has the following characteristics:
• It spreads easily between people.
• People not normally considered “high risk” (young adults) are contracting this disease.
• It has made a significant number of people sick in many countries around the world.
• The flu vaccination that was made available this season does not protect against this strain.
What can I do about Swine Influenza “A” (H1N1)?
1. Promote good personal hygiene. Thorough hand washing and cleaning of public surfaces are the best
ways to minimize exposure to harmful pathogens. Sporicidin® Lotion Soap is a surgical scrub used by
hospitals and medical practices to protect against harmful organisms. Sporicidin® Disinfecting Solution
is a liquid disinfectant that contains surfactants (soap) for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces in
household and professional settings.
2. Use a safe product. Developed by the inventor of Chloraseptic® throat spray and utilizing exactly the
same active ingredients, Sporicidin® Disinfectant Solution is one of the safest disinfectants available.
Used in hospitals and around children for 30+ years.
3. Keep healthy. Sporicidin® Disinfectant Solution, when used according to label instructions, is effective
against many organisms – see the list above.
