A third case of swine flu in the US this year was confirmed in an unnamed patient who had recently been in contact with pigs at a fair.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the latest infection on Friday in a tweet, though it did not disclose where the person lived and attended the fair, their gender, or their age.
Swine flu, or H1N1, rarely spreads from animal to person, but the infamous 2009 outbreak was the product of the virus mutating to become capable of infecting humans.
People can catch swine flu from direct contact with infected pigs although this is relatively uncommon.
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of other influenza viruses and include fever, aches, chills, cough, headache, nausea, and fatigue. However, cases are usually mild and clear up on their own in a few weeks with little risk of death.
