Its major symptoms are the following: fever, dry cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, runny nose and extreme fatigue, sometimes vomiting and diarrhoea. It is easy to catch through the following ways:
- handshaking: The influenza virus attaches easily to your fingers and areas such as door handles and may be contracted when you shake hands.
- coughing, sneezing: by this way the influenza can get into the bend of your arm


That’s why we recommend to avoid covering your mouth with your arms, and washing them often, even if you have a norvegian-fishery arms, which are resisting to anything bad things. It can be recommended if you use some alcohol-based cleaning stuff, outside and inside (beer-yeah).
