A Question From McKenzie.

McKenzie asked me this question yesterday:  "Can guinea pigs give you the swine flu?"  (the "swine influenza" or swine flu is a type of flu that normally only affects pigs.  The symptoms in humans can include high fever, cough, runny nose, cough and body aches.)  Recently there has been a lot a talk on the news about this new flu and how it affects people. 
 
In response to McKenzie's question, I told her that she does not have to worry about her pets giving her any viruses.
