Spread the Word, Not the FluMuch like seasonal flu, although a different virus, 2009 H1N1 is highly contagious with symptoms including fever, cough, sore throat, headache, chills, diarrhea, vomiting and fatigue. H1N1 and seasonal flu can exacerbate existing health conditions and result in pneumonia, respiratory failure and even, in rare cases, death. Those who are infected with H1N1 and seasonal flu are able to pass the virus on to others one day before they exhibit symptoms to up to seven days after symptoms are evident.
