Weekly Voice
EVART — As fami-
lies stop by the Osceola
County Fairgrounds to
see rabbits, cows, goats,
pigs and other animals,
the Michigan Department
of Health and Human Ser-
vices is warning people
about swine influenza.
In a Monday, July 8
press release, MDHHS
health experts warned
fair-goers about the poten-
tial for swine at the local
fairs to carry influenza
viruses that can make
people sick.
Swine influenza, accord-
ing to the press release,
is a respiratory disease
that regularly circulates
among swine and does not
usually infect humans.
Since 2010, 466 con-
firmed cases of humans
infected with swine
influenza have been re-
ported nationally. The
“All swine, even those
that appear healthy, have
the potential to carry in-
fluenza virus,” said Dr. Jo-
neigh Khaldun, MDHHS
chief medical executive
and chief deputy director
for health. “Washing your
hands thoroughly before
and after being around
swine protects both you
and your family from the
risk of influenza virus,
and also helps keep the
swine healthy.”
To prevent the spread
of influenza, the Osceola
County Fair takes precau-
tions following biosecu-
rity rules set up by Michi-
gan State University and
its 4H agent, Fair Presi-
dent Rick Sherman wrote
in an email. Barn superin-
tendents are also present
during fair times to make
sure all procedures and
rules are followed.
When it comes to keep-
ing swine influenza from
moving from a pig to
man wrote that the barn
walkways are sprayed
each night and approved
sanitizer solution.
Though precautions are
put in place, those who
become ill after exposure
to pigs should check with
their doctor and ask about
being tested for influenza.
Symptoms of swine in-
fluenza in people are simi-
lar to those of seasonal flu
viruses and can include
fever, sore throat and re-
spiratory symptoms such
as cough and runny nose
and other symptoms such
as body aches, vomiting
or diarrhea. According to
the MDHHS, an exposed
person can start showing
symptoms up to 10 days
after being exposed to
swine.
Swine influenza can
cause severe symptoms
such as pneumonia and,
in rare cases, death.
Those at higher risk
of developing complica-
tions include children
younger than five years
of age, people 65 and
older, pregnant women
and people with certain
chronic health disease,
such as asthma, diabetes,
heart disease, weakened
immune systems and neu-
rological conditions, ac-
cording to the MDHHS.
