(Click HERE for Pam Thompson's current Swine Flu updates)
I have just had a lengthy conversation with an infectious disease physician from Vallarta, who is on his way back from an emergency meeting in Guadalajara.
THERE HAVE BEEN NO CONFIRMED CASES IN THE STATE OF JALISCO.
When I asked him if we are at risk here in Puerto Vallarta he said: Yes - every time someone sneezes we are at risk.
When I asked him what we can do to prevent being infected he said:
• Drink 50% more fluids than you normally do.
• Take Vitamin A, D and B Vitamins
• There IS NO vaccine available at this time. He stressed DO NOT RUSH OUT AND GET A FLU VACCINE - this is because for 3 weeks after receiving the flu vaccine, the body has a lower immune system.
• He did suggest staying away from crowded areas.
• Wash Wash Wash Wash Wash - hands, house, all areas.
I will speak with him again tomorrow for further updates.
