H1N1 Appears To Be Transmittable From Human To Pig

"In an interesting twist it appears that H1N1 influenza can be transmitted from humans to swine. Apparently a Canadian pig farmer vacationed in Mexico, returned to Canada and infected about 10% of the swine on an Alberta farm. The swine subsequently developed flu symptoms." (slashdot)

Nine out of ten pigs suggest calling it "Human Flu."
