Influenza

Coughing, sneezing, talking, and spreading germs through contact is the surest way to catch the "thing" that is going around. This guidebook provides essential information on Influenza, but also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes, and first-person narratives by people coping with Influenza. Readers will learn from the words of patients, family members, or caregivers. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Alternative treatments are also covered. Each essay is carefully edited and presented with an introduction, so that they are accessible for student researchers and readers. Includes charts, graphs, and tables.
