These hot lines are designed to provide information to any concerned or curious parties, and more often than not, they can give you the answers you need. It isn't always best to go online for answers, because people have personal bias, and everyone seems to think they know everything. Also, go to your doctor and ask them. They have the latest updates on the illness sent to them regularly, so they should be able to either tell you what you need to know, or point you in the right direction.<br>In saying the above, I will tell you that there is a possibility, like there is with pretty much every illness that is known to mankind, of mutation and reinfection. Influenza A(H1N1) itself is a mutation of the general flu. But this is nothing to panic about. Medical research and capabilities throughout the world have improved so much that there is every possibility that if it mutates, a vaccine will be able to be produced. While a vaccine isn't foolproof, and can weaken your immune system to some degree, its ability to be created, and modified in part, to combat any mutations that may occur.<br>There have been no reports to be made in regards to being immune to a more serious mutation of H1N1, mainly because it hasn't mutated yet, and scientists don't know what the implications would be from a mutation. It could mutate into something absolutely harmless, or it could mutate into something else.<br>Although, because it is a mutation of the general flu, which often requires an annual flu shot to maintain immunity, it is highly likely that an acquired immunity will be non existent.Malnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787854880235215455.post-62201752610261384702009-06-17T18:27:51.000-07:002009-06-17T18:27:51.000-07:00In the case of a mutagenic drift, you may be less ...In the case of a mutagenic drift, you may be less susceptible as the new strain would be fairly similar to previous strains to which you were exposed. However, in the event of a mutagenic shift the strain becomes unrecognizable to existing antibodies and there is no immunity. Swine flu is so dangerous because it is a trans-species virus that developed from a mutagenic shift. Microbioloigist continually work on predicting when these shifts will occur to lessen the likelihood of pandemics by developing vaccines and taking measures to educate the public.indycarenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787854880235215455.post-23362119972190270552009-06-17T14:42:23.000-07:002009-06-17T14:42:23.000-07:00It depends.

If the surface antigens, the H1 and N1 epitopes, remain as they are but the internal proteins change to make the virus more virulent (dangerous), then you will be protected if you have had the strain we have now. Your immune system recognises the H and N lumpy bits that protrude from the virus's surface so if it has encountered those lumps before it will kill the virus and you will be safe. If the H1N1 mutates and becomes, for example H2N1, you are in trouble.<br>BTW, M H above is totally wrong saying if you have had the flu you are protected.Molecularity verbosumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787854880235215455.post-55840213332292946062009-06-17T09:24:36.000-07:002009-06-17T09:24:36.000-07:00If you have ever had the flu, then effectively you...If you have ever had the flu, then effectively you have had the swine flu. They are near one and the same.<br>Whilst minor changes make the swine flu identifiable in tested over the standard influenza, the changes in swine are not enough to create a "dangerous" or "infectious" disease from them.<br>It has been documented in medical journals that from 1958 to the latest "pandemic" approximately 50 deaths from swine flu have been confirmed. From these cases only 2 have died who were perceived to be medically healthy. All other deaths the person has been suffering from a terminal or near terminal illness (or had a severely compromised immune system).<br>Ironically if you went over to some of the most third world areas of the earth, where AIDS/HIV is prevalent, if you were to introduce swine flu into the population as a pandemic, then you would find HIV would still kill more people per day than human swine influenzu.<br>So why is swine so hyped you ask? The media need a story, and at the moment swine flu is that story. The other reason why places like the WHO are worried, is because of how many people have it. Sure a lot of people get the flu during winter, but there is some scaremongering going around that his flu spreads faster than others! The reality is that swine flu is more myth then reality. More people catch and die from the common flu (that we've all had in our lives) than swine flu.<br>Hope that answers your question.M Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787854880235215455.post-88568005908843454422009-06-17T04:07:30.000-07:002009-06-17T04:07:30.000-07:00Not true!

The story is that in each population of organisms or strains of a disease there is variation (of genetic material). It's highly likely that there will be one strain that is immune to vaccines/meds etc and this will become the new strains with which everyone is infected (there will still be variation in this new population too, like with AIDS [that why they are on so many drugs at once]).<br>If you get swine flu now you may build up immunity to the strain you have contracted and could potentially 'fight off the disease'. HOWEVER should you contract another strain of the disease you'll have to start building up immunity all over again. Like some else had said 'it's just like the flu'. So NO if you contract swine flu now you will NOT be immune to 'more dangerous strains later'.loulabelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787854880235215455.post-58588480689292455522009-06-17T02:12:24.000-07:002009-06-17T02:12:24.000-07:00Sadly no for each case of the flu is entirely diff...Sadly no for each case of the flu is entirely different. You catch a cold(Flu) you take precaution and you beat it BUT a new virus comes along and you have to begin all over again as each case is entirely different. Its all along the same line except the infection of flu becomes more adaptable to medicines. As in the case of Malaria I suffered badly from malaria because I continually took the same medicine for years to combat it - again the mosquito became immune to the medicine we took and a stronger strain developed. Living thirty years in the tropics (PNG) I took over six different brands of malaria tablets - but still contacted the virus. Each disease eventually becomes immune to the treatment you take.Pommynoreply@blogger.com
