Should we stop eating pork because of the Swine Flu?
I saw a news item on a Mexican TV station which showed a bunch of pigs staggering and falling down. Is the Swine Flu contageous from pigs to humans and should I stop eating pork?

The virus responsible for the Swine flu is killed by heat above 165 degrees Fahrenheit, so cooking pork should kill any dangerous organisms. The Swine flu is transmitted between humans by coughing, sneezing and touching any item that has been contaminated by an infected person's saliva.
