Swine flu may be able to be detected through a simple breath test. Researchers have been investigating an easy and non-invasive breath test that measures biomolecules that accumulate in response to the strain caused by H1N1 flu virus. This test could mean a future without vaccination shortages. Those diagnosed with swine flu typically have a fever or high temperature and may also experience aching muscles, sore throat, or a dry cough. The symptoms are very similar to types of seasonal flu and most people recover within a week, even without special treatment. The most common treatment for the H1N1 virus thus far has been the vaccination.
