Geocache Description:

The H1N1Cache1 is the only H1N1 you'll ever want to make contact with - Cache it while you can!

Hmmmmmm. Swine flu???

According to Yale Center for Public Health Preparedness, initially influenza is an avian virus. The new types of human viruses appear when avian ones mix with those of the humans. Usually avian and human viruses are difficult to hybridize. So PIGS are the interlink between the two, adding their own subtypes of influenza to the mix. While these animals suffer from their own types of flu, which usually don't transmit to humans, they are a favorable environment for hybridizing avian, human, and swine types of influenza. So, H1N1 is the hybrid of this kind.

Did you wonder what this virus might really look like under the microscope?

Find this cache and you'll get a peek! Cache contains a logbook (and petri dish?) only. No trade items please. BYOP.
Happy Caching!

Congrats to El-Fudgeo for FTF!!!
