It's no wonder that store shelves are overflowing with gum, mints, mouthwashes and other products designed to fight bad breath.

If simple self-care techniques don't solve the problem, see your dentist or physician to be sure a more serious condition isn't causing your bad breath. https://youtu.be/V4KjEM_loM0

Pic Credit- Pixabay DEFINITION Technically, the term "swine flu" refers to influenza in pigs. Occasionally, pigs transmit influenza viruses to people, mainly to hog farmers and veterinarians. Less often, someone infected passes the infection to others. The human respiratory infection caused by a particular influenza virus H1N1 strain — popularly known as swine flu — was first recognized in spring 2009.

As a result, the World Health Organization declared the infection a global pandemic. The pandemic was declared over in August 2010.
