Swine Flu in Humans

　　Can humans catch swine flu?

　　Swine flu viruses do not normallyinfect humans. However, sporadic human infections with swine flu have occurred. Most commonly, these cases occur in persons with direct exposure to pigs (e.g. children near pigs at a fair or workers in the swine industry). In addition, there have been documented cases of one person spreading swine flu to others. For example, an outbreak of apparent swine flu infection in pigs in Wisconsin in 1988 resulted in multiple human infections, and, although no communityoutbreak resulted, there was antibody evidence of virus transmission from the patient to health care workers who had close contact with the patient.

　　人类会感染猪流感吗？

　　一般来说猪流感并不会感染人类，但人们已经发现了少数人类感染猪流感的病例。这些病例大部分出现在与猪有直接接触的人群中(例如，市场上与猪接触的儿童，以及养猪业的工人)。另外也有一些病例是猪流感从一个人传染到另一个人的情况，例如1988年在威斯康星爆发的猪流感造成了多人感染。尽管猪流感没有在社区中传播开来，但抗体实验证实病毒从病人传播到了与其有近距离接触的医护人员身上。

　　What are the symptoms of swine flu in humans?

　　The symptoms of swine flu in people are expected to be similar to the symptoms of regular human seasonal influenza and include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Some people with swine flu also have reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

　　人类感染猪流感的症状是什么？

　　人类感染猪流感的症状预计会与人类感染季节性流感的症状类似，包括发烧，瞌睡，厌食以及咳嗽。一些感染猪流感的病人出现了流鼻涕，咽喉痛，恶心，呕吐以及腹泻的症状。

　　Can people catch swine flu from eating pork?

　　No. Swine influenza viruses are not transmitted by food. You can not get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork and pork products is safe. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160°F kills the swine flu virus as it does other bacteria and viruses.

　　吃猪肉会感染猪流感吗？

　　不会，猪流感病毒不会通过食物传播。吃猪肉或者猪肉制品不会使人感染猪流感，因此食用妥善处理过或者烹调过的猪肉及猪肉制品是安全的。与其他细菌或者病毒一样，将猪肉加热至内温160°F(71.1 °C)就会杀死猪流感病毒。
