Tips for women safety Here are some safety tips for women.

1. Always be aware of your surroundings
This applies whether you are traveling alone or in groups. Don't just
focus inwardly on your thoughts if you are alone, or your friends if
you are together. Keep one eye out for your environment, looking out
for suspicious characters, possible danger, etc.
Also, don't assume that because your area has been "safe" thus far,
that it will continue to be so.
2. Travel in groups
"There is safety in numbers" is not just a cliche. It's true. Make a
point of traveling together with other sisters, whether it's on public
transportation, on campus, in cars, etc.
3. Change the route you normally travel by
If you've taken the same bus, train or highway to get to work or
school, change your route. Even if it takes you a little longer, your
safety is more important. By changing your route, youcan avert
possible attacksor harassment from those who know your schedule,
method and route of travel well. Please note though that you should
avoid short cuts that take you through unfamiliar or unsafe areas.
4. Look confident
Walk with a straight posture and your arms swinging by your sides.
Avoid slouching or walking like a victim. This makes you an easy
target for attackers.
5. When riding by public transportation choose the right seat
If you are riding by bus or train, do not sit on thewindow seat as you
may be "blocked in" by a potential assailant. Always select the seat
next to the aisle so that you can quickly leave if necessary.
If you are taking public transportation alone after peak hours, sit as
close to the driver as possible and/or choose the section of the
bus/train that is most crowded. Try to get a seat near the exit as
well.
6. If you are driving alone
Don't think that if you are in a car, you're safe. Windows should be
up and doors locked even when driving to avoid unwanted passengers at
intersections. When you are walking to your car, always have your keys
ready, so that you can quickly get into your car.
But don't just get in rightaway. Always check your car before
entering, especially the back, for any intruders.
7. Never leave your car door unlocked
Even if it means for one minute to drop something off in the mailbox
that's a few feet away. Attackers have been known to lie in wait for
such an opportunity.
8. Be careful in parking lots
Always be alert in parking lots, especially when it's dark. Ask
someone to escort you toyour car. Between cars and inside cars, it's
easy for someone to hide and wait until an unalert person comes along.
9. If you are traveling by taxi
Always check the identification of the driver (usually located near
the visor) and ensure that it matches the driver. Once inside, don't
sit behind the driver as it may be easy for the driver to lock the
rear passenger door. Always choose the adjacent seat.
In addition, avoid flagging taxis. Always order taxis so the driver
can be traced if something happens.
10. Don't use the walkman
If you're used to listeningto your walkman while outside, drop this
habit, especially in isolated areas. With your walkman on, you cannot
hear the approach of a possible attacker.
11. Note "safe houses" along your route
Mentally note houses at intervals on each route you take that can be
used as "safe houses" if you are attacked, such as shops or houses
that you know to be occupied by a friend or acquaintance.
12. When you make a callfrom a phone booth
After dialing the number you wish to call always turn around so that
you have your back to the phone and may see who or what is coming your
way. You will then be able to tell the person to whom you are speaking
that you may be in trouble and you may be able to use the weight of
the phone as a weapon. The door of a telephone box could be used to
wedge in the limbs of theattacker.
13. Do not open the door of your home without checking
DO NOT open the door to your home without first checking from a
window,peephole or by asking and verifying who it is. Instruct
children to do the same.
14. Report any suspiciousactivity around your home
If you see people loitering on the streets near your house, call the
police on a non emergency number and report it.
15. Invest in a cell phone
This is an invaluable safety device. Keep it with you at all times and
keep emergency numbers on it. Also, keep it next to your bed before
you go to bed at night. Cell phones were first popularized by women as
a security device, business people came later.
16. Parking tips
Avoid parking in areas that are not well lit. Where possible, park
close to a school or work entrance or in a parking garage that has an
attendant.
If you see a suspicious person approaching or hanging around near your
parked car, turn around and go back to an area where there are other
people. Try to get an escort to your car through the campus or job
security or local police.
17. Tell others about yourwhereabouts
Parents, spouses and friends should know where you are going andwhen
you will be back, so that your absence will be noticed. Arrange a
callin system with a friend if you live alone, whereby you call when
you arrive home.
18. Trust your instincts
If you are walking somewhere and feel strange or scared, don't ignore
this feeling. Take extra precautions by walking a little faster to get
to a more populated or well-lit area or changethe route you've been
driving on.
19. If you think you are being followed, change your route and activity.
You can cross the street, change directions, or enter a populated
building or store. Do whatever is necessary to avoid being alone with
the person who is following you. Inform a police officer or security
official about the follower.
20. Attract attention if you are in a dangerous situation.
Get others' to pay attention to what's happening to you if you are
under attack or being harassed. You can alert others by honking acar
horn or loudly describing what is happening.
21. NEVER admit that you are alone
If someone calls your home and asks if you are alone, NEVER admit it.
Askwho the caller is. If they refuse to identify themselves, calmly
hangup. Keep the radio on in the house so that callers will get the
impression that others are in the home too. Instruct children to do
the same when they pick up the phone.
22. Obscene phone calls
If you receive an obscenecall or a crank call, do nottalk to the
caller. Hang upif the caller doesn't say anything, or as soon as s/he
shouts obscenities. Hang up the phone calmly and do not slam it down.
Note down the date and time of the calls. If they are persistent,
inform local police.
23. If you are a student
Avoid studying in isolated classrooms in parts of the college campus
that are not regularly patrolled by theschool's security officers.
24. In large buildings take the elevator, not thestairwell
Stairwells are usually quiet and dark. Most people take the elevator.
But if someone creepy gets on, don't hesitate to get off at the same
time. Or, if someone is already on the elevator who you feel strange
about, do not get on and wait for the next elevator.

Impeccable life of Allah's Beloved Prophet

IMPECCABLE LIFE OF ALLAH'S BELOVED PROPHET
Q 1: Which Prophet's community (Ummah) do you belong to?
A. We belong to the Ummah (community) of Allah's Beloved Prophet
Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (may Allah's choicest blessings & peace be
upon him).
Q 2: Briefly explain aboutthe Holy Prophet?
A. Our kind lord and master Hadrat Muhammad (may Allah's choicest
blessings & peace be upon him) was born in Makkah city of Arabia. His
father Hadrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) had passed away
before his birth. His mother Hadrat Beebee Aminah (may Allah be
pleased with her) also died when the Prophet was yet of six years.
Thus the responsibility of his upbringing automatically devolved upon
his paternal grand father Hadrat Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased
with him). But he also expired when the Prophet attained to the age of
8 years, 2 months and 10 days. Hadrat Haleema nursed and breast fed
the Holy Prophet during his early infancy.
Q 3: At what age did Allah Almighty make himProphet?
A. Though the Holy Prophet Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (may Allah's
choicest blessings & peace be upon him) formally received Prophet hood
and first
revelation at the age of forty but, in fact, he was the "first" in all
Apostles, Messengers and Prophets as he himself said that "first of
all AllahAlmighty created my Noor (light)".
Q 4: How did the Holy Prophet preach and promote Islaam?
A. At the outset the Holy Prophet preached Islaamto his close
relatives and acquaintances as the ignorance and barbarism reigned
supreme in Arabia and the concept of One God, as the Creator,
Sustainer and Nourisher was alien to their nature and to their soil.
The Muslims worshipped Allah secretly. Even father was afraid of his
son and viceversa due to having embraced Islaam. Gradually, the number
ofmale and female converts to Islamic faith swelled and then Allah
Almighty commanded the Holy Prophet to preach Islaam openly. Hedid so
and Islaam rapidlyspread in whole of Makkah city and even in the
adjoining areas.
Q 5: Who was the first to embrace Islaam?
A. Hadrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was the first in
mento embrace Islaam, Hadrat Khudaija-tul-Kubra (may Allah be pleased
with her) was first in women, Hadrat 'Alee (may Allah be pleased with
him) was inteenagers and in slaves Hadrat Zaid bin Harisah (may Allah
be pleased with him),was first who embraced Islaam.
Q 6: Where did the Holy Prophet live throughout his life?
A. The Holy Prophet preached Islaam for ten years in the holy
Makkah(his birth place). Since Allah Almighty wanted tomake the holy
Madinah, the "bastion" of Islaam so some people of Madinah during
their visit to Makkah embraced Islaam and started preaching Islamic
faith. Thus the first seminary of Islaam was founded in Madinah.
Gradually the Muslims of Makkah migrated to Madinah and at last the
Darling Elect of Allah, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (may Allah's choicest
blessings & peace be upon him) also shifted toMadinah and spent his
entire remaining life there. His Roda-e-Aqdas (holy shrine) is in holy
Madinah which is visitedby millions of his lovers and votaries. He
(apparently) passed away at the age of sixty three, but actually he is
alive in his hallowed grave.
Q 7: With which especial favour the Holy Prophet was endowed in Makkah?
A. The Holy Prophet was blessed with "Me'raaj" (ascension to the
heavens) a night in the waking during the fifth year after the
proclamation of his Prophethood. He was taken on "Buraaq" (a white,
very fast, sexless heavenly animal which stepped beyond eyeshot) by
the Chief Angel Hadrat Gibreil from his sacred house to Aqsa mosque
(Jerusalem)and then to the skies,heavens. He visited all the seven
skies, empyrean, heavens and Haud-e-Kauser (an exclusive heavenly body
of water reserved for the Holy Prophet). Hell was presented before him
to see for himself the torments to be meted out to infidels and
sinners. He saw eachand everything. Nothing remained unseen. Even he
saw Allah's Jamaal (splendidly sublime sight) and spoke with Him sans
any intermediary. On this occasion, Salaat (prayer) five times a day
was made obligatory on the believers. Before the night was over he
came back home.
Q 8: Is there any successor to the Prophethood of Hadrat Muhammad
Mustafa (may Allah's choicest blessings & peace be upon him)?
A. No, absolutely not. TheHoly Prophet Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (may
Allah's choicest blessings & peace be upon him) is"Khaataman
Nabi-yeen" (the Last Prophet). He who believes or considers that there
was or is or will be any Prophet after Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (may
Allah's choicest blessings & peace be upon him) is infidel and
disbeliever.
Q 9: What rank does the Holy Prophet hold among the Prophets?
A. Our kind lord and master Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (may Allah's
choicest blessings & peace be upon him) is the highest and leader of
all Apostles, Messengers andProphets. He is a perfect agglomeration of
all those blessed traits, impeccabilities and miracles that were
individually found in theother Prophets. He is the"Darling Elect"
(Beloved) of Allah which aptly vindicates that no other Apostle,
Messenger, Prophet or Angel is so close to Allah as he is.
Q10: What about the belief of those people who describe the Holy
Prophet mere a human being or like their elder brother?
A. He who considers the Holy Prophet mere a human being like himself
or says he is like my elder brother or triesto denigrate him in one
way or the other is apostate and disbeliever. It has been explained at
places in the Holy Qur-aan that nations in the past slidedinto
misguidance and disbelief because they considered and treated their
Prophets as mere humanbeings like themselves.
Q11: What does it mean to believe in the Holy Prophet Hadrat Muhammad
Mustafa (may Allah's choicest blessings & peace be upon him)?
A. Belief in Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa (may Allah's choicest blessings &
peace be upon him) means that we should have unwavering faith in his
being the "Last Prophet"of Allah and no Prophet to succeed or follow
him, he is the best of all mankind and the most truthful and that our
salvation in this world and the world hereafter lies in obeying him.
We ought to love him more than our parents, children, all mankind even
our own self. In fact, our unbounded love and reverence for the Holy
Prophet is "real faith" (Eimaan).
Q12: Which deeds reflect"love" for the Holy Prophet?
A. Following deeds of believers are reflective of "love" for the Holy Prophet:
- Speak high of him withdue reverence.
- Invoke Allah's blessings on him profusely (recite Durood Shareef in
as many numbers as possible).
- Be attentive and respectful when his sublime life is explained
before you and recite Durood Shareef hearing his blessed name. Do
notforget to add "Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi wa Sallam" to his name if you
write anywhere.
- Have love for his posterity, companions and those who love the Holy Prophet.
- Harbour enmity towards his enemies.
- Say such words while talking about him that befit his dignity and greatness.
- Do not call him "Yaa Muhammad" (O' Muhammad) but as "Yaa Nabi-yal
Laah (O' Prophet of Allah) and"Yaa Rasoolal Laah" (O' the Messenger of
Allah).
- Follow his Sunnah heart and soul.
- Organise and attend"Eid Meelaad-un-Nabee" programs (celebrations of
the Holy Prophet's birth day i.e. 12th Rabi ulAwwal) and recite
Salaat-o-Salaam (invocation of Allah's blessings on him) aloud
enthusiastically.

Islam the Glorious religion

Q 1: What is Islamic faith?
A. Islamic faith is to firmly believe that the Holy Prophet Hadrat
Muhammad (may the choicest blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
is true and his every word and deed is also true. Whoever believes so
is a Muslim.
Q 2: Can one be Muslim who recites Kalimah without understanding its meaning?
A. He will be considered a Muslim who believes that Islaam is the true
religion and expresses his intention of embracing Islaam with his
tongue reciting Kalimah if there is none to make him understandthe
meaning of Kalimah or he does not understand due to any handicap.
Q 3: What about those who do not believe in Islaam?
A. Such people are called"infidels".
Q 4: Who is called"Murtad" (renegade)?
A. Apostate or renegade is that wretched one who has embraced Islaam
but even then speaks blasphemous words against Islaam and is adamant
not to renounce his blasphemy.
Q 5: Who are hypocrites?
A. Hypocrites are those who have embraced Islaam and claim to be
Muslim but deny Islaam at heart.
Q 6: Which people are called "Mushrik"(polytheists)?
A. Those wretched ones who worship different objects excepting Allah
or consider someone or something as partner in Allah's infinite
kingdom and eternal power.
Q 7: Which nations are"Mushrik"in the world?
A. Like Hindus who worship idols and consider them partner inAllah's
infinite Kingdom and eternal power, Christians, Jews, Parsi etc: who
believe either in duality of God or in trinity. All such people are
"Mushrik".
Q 8: Are there "Mushrik"(polytheists) in Muslims?
A. God forbid! How can aMuslim be "Mushrik", for,he firmly believes in
Oneness of true God i.e. Allah. Contrary to this, Mushrik considers
one orthe other humanbeing or thing as partner of Allah. No Mushrik
can be called Muslim and no Muslim can be described as Mushrik.
Q 9: What about those people who term Muslims as "Mushrik"?
A. Some misguided and disgruntled groups of people have surfaced who
call Muslims"polytheists" and"heretics" on one pretext or the other.
TheMuslims must avoid and disassociate themselves from such misguided
elements to save their Islamic faith.
Q 10: Can we call a"Kaafir"(infidel) as infidel or not?
A. A Muslim should be called Muslim and an infidel as infidel. There
isno rhyme or reason in forbidding one to call infidel as "Kaafir".
Allah Almighty Himself calls infidels as "Kaafir" i.e."Qul Yaaa
Aieyu-hal Kaaferoon" (Say you [Muhammad] O' infidels!).

Food & Nourishment -, Dought & clear - , Ruling on eating balut (egg containing a dead chick).

Belut is a fertilized duck or chicken egg that contains a
nearly-developed embryo. This egg is boiled and eaten in the shell.
The prevalent belief here in the Philippines is that it contains a
high level of protein and is good for the heart. It is sold in
themarkets and streets of the Philippines. What is the ruling on
eating this kind of egg?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The description of this egg on some websites is as follows:
Development of the chick usually takes 28 days, but balut is an egg
that has been incubated for only 18 days, during which they get a real
embryo with a primitive skeleton.
When the egg reaches the age of 16-20 days, it is ready to be taken to
market, where it will be boiled for thousands of customers who enjoy
this food. This depends on the size of the egg. The egg that is 18
days old is the best. The sellers wash the eggs thoroughly with
sponges, then when they are perfectly clean, they are put in a pot
andboiled. End quote.
With regard to the ruling on eating the egg with the embryo that is
not fully developed, the ruling is that it is haraam, because it comes
under the heading of eating maytah (something that has died without
being slaughtered properly). Eating maytah is definitely haraam
according to Islam.
The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas were asked
about the ruling on eating this egg and they ruled that it is haraam.
They were asked:
When we visited the Philippines, we noticed that the people of that
country commonly eat a dish they call balut. This is a chicken egg
that is placed in an incubator until it develops the form of a small
chick with all its features. Three days before the egg is peeled, they
cook the egg in water until it is done, then they break the egg and
eat the chick that is inside it.
Please advise us of the ruling on eating this food.
They replied:
If the situation is as described, then the chickis regarded as maytah
(something that died without being properly slaughtered) and it is not
permissible to eat it, because it had taken shape inside the egg, and
the prohibition on maytah is something that is well known and well
established in Islam.End quote.

Ghadyaan,Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Shaykh BakrAbu Zayd

And Allah knows best.

Food & Nourishment -, Ruling on feeding dried blood to chickens.

What is the ruling on chickens if they are fed dried blood? A lot of
chickenfeed that chickenfarmers buy to fatten their chickens, both in
this country and abroad,contains dried blood, because in it there is a
kind of protein that helps chickens grow.
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to feeding chickens or other animals that may be eaten
with impure substances (najasah) such as blood and the like, if it is
a small amount, that does not matter and it does not make them haraam
or make them jallaalah (animals that feed on filth and dung); rather
the jallaalah should be detained until it becomes pure and clean,if
most of its food is impure (najis).
But if only a small amount of the animal's food is impure (najis),
then it does not have any impact and it does not make the animal
haraam, so long as the ratio is 20% or 30% and so on. This does not
matter. Rather what makes it haraam is if the ratio is more than that
- 60% or 70%. If this is the ration, then the animal is regarded as
jallaalah, so it should be detained so that it can be given good and
pure food andwater. If it has been detained for a suitable number of
days, then it becomes pure and is halaal. This applies if theimpure
material is the majority of what it eats. The time for detaining
animals varies. Chickens should be detained for three days, and that
is enough for them to be fed good food and goodwater. Other animals,
such as sheep, cattle andthe like should be detained for longer
thanthat, such as seven days or more, so that they canbe given good
food and water, and their flesh becomes good (halaal) after that. We
have asked many of those who have knowledge of this matter, and they
said that what is fed to chickens of dried blood is a small amount in
comparison to other, pure food. End quote.
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allah havemercy on him).
Fataawa Noor 'ala al-Darb, 4/1934

Food & Nourishment,Ruling on eating chicken that was fed hormones or ground meat.

Does the meat of chickengrown by giving steroidsis halal evenif it is
slaughtered correctly?
Praise be to Allaah.
If the manufactured food or medicines did not contain anything harmful
or impure (najis), there is nothing wrong with eating chickens to whom
they were fed, if they have been slaughtered in the proper shar'i
manner by a Muslim or a kitaabi (i.e., Jew or Christian).
But if the feed or medicine is harmful to man, and will make him sick,
for example, it is haraam to feed them to chickens and to eat those
chickens, because Allah says (interpretationof the meaning):
"and do not throw yourselves into destruction"
[al-Baqarah 2:195].
And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
"There should be neitherharming not reciprocating harm." Narrated by
Ibn Maajah (2431) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Irwa'
al-Ghaleel (896).
If the feed is naajis (impure), such as meat from animals that died
without being slaughtered properly (maytah) or blood and so on, that
may be put inthe feed, then the matter is subject to further
discussion.
Is most of the feed is made from those impuresubstances or from taahir
(pure) things suchas grains and the like?
If most of the feed is pure, it is permissible to eat it, and there is
nothing wrong with that.
But if most of its feed is naajis (impure) -- this is what the
scholars call "an animal that feeds onfilth" -- it is not permissible
to eat unless it has been detained andfed with taahir food thatwill
make its meat good.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said in al-Sharh al-Mumti' (11/298):
The animal that feeds onfilth is one whose food ismostly impure (najaasah).
There are two scholarly views concerning this: one view is that it is
haraam because it has been nourished by impure matter that has an
effect on its meat.
The other view is that it is halaal. This is based onthe idea that
impure things become pure when they undergo a transformation. They
said: The impurity that it ate has been transformed into blood, flesh
and the like that grows in the body, so it is taahir. End quote.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade the
milk of an animal that feeds on filth or impurity, but if the animal
is detained until it becomes pure, then it is halaal according to
Muslim consensus, because before that the effect of the impurity could
be seen in its milk, eggs and sweat, so it gave off a rotten and evil
stench. Once that is removed, it becomes taahir (pure). If the ruling
is established for a reason, it ceases to apply once that reason isno
longer present. End quote.

Health - , Flu Widespread, Leading a Range of Winter’s Ills

The country is in the gripof three emerging flu or flulike epidemics:
an early start to the annual flu season with an unusually aggressive
virus, a surge in a new type of norovirus, and the worst whooping
cough outbreak in 60 years. And these are all developing amid the
normal winter highs for the many viruses that cause symptoms on the "
colds and flu" spectrum.
Influenza is widespread, and causing local crises. On Wednesday,
Boston's mayor declared a public health emergency as cases flooded
hospital emergency rooms.
Google's national flu trend maps , which track flu-related searches,
are almost solid red (for "intense activity") and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention's weekly FluView maps , which track
confirmed cases, are nearly solid brown (for "widespread activity").
"Yesterday, I saw a construction worker, a big strong guy in his
Carhartts who looked like he could fall off a roof without noticing
it," said Dr. Beth Zeeman,an emergency room doctor for MetroWest
Medical Center in Framingham, Mass., just outside Boston. "He was in a
fetal position with fever and chills, like a wet rag. When I see one
of those cases, I just tighten up my mask a little."
Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston started asking visitors with
even mild cold symptoms to wear masksand to avoid maternity wards. The
hospital has treated 532 confirmed influenza patients this season and
admitted 167, even more than it did by this date during the 2009-10
swine flu pandemic.
At Brigham and Women's Hospital, 100 patients were crowded into spaces
licensed for 53. Beds lined halls and pressed against vending
machines. Overflow patients sat on benches in the lobby wearing
surgical masks.
"Today was the first timeI think I was experiencing my first
pandemic," said Heidi Crim, the nursing director, who saw both the
swine flu and SARS outbreaks here. Adding to the problem, she
said,many staff members were at home sick and supplies like flu test
swabs were running out.
Nationally, deaths and hospitalizations are still below epidemic
thresholds. But experts do not expect that to remain true. Pneumonia
usually shows up in national statistics only a week or two after
emergency rooms reportsurges in cases, and deaths start rising a week
or two after that, said Dr. Gregory A. Poland, a vaccine specialist at
the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. The predominant flu strain circulating
is an H3N2, which typically kills more people than the H1N1 strains
that usually predominate; the relatively lethal 2003-4 "Fujian flu"
season was overwhelmingly H3N2.
No cases have been resistant to Tamiflu , which can ease symptoms if
taken within 48 hours, and thisyear's flu shot is well-matched to the
H3N2 strain, the C.D.C. said. Flu shots are imperfect, especially in
the elderly, whose immune systems may notbe strong enough to produce
enough antibodies .
Simultaneously, the country is seeing a large and early outbreak of
norovirus, the "cruise ship flu" or " stomach flu ," said Dr. Aron J.
Hall of the C.D.C.'s viral gastroenterology branch. It includes a
newstrain, which first appeared in Australia and is known as the
Sydney 2012 variant.
This week, Maine's health department said that state was seeing a
large spike in cases. Cities across Canada reported norovirus
outbreaks so serious that hospitals were shutting down whole wards for
disinfection because patients were getting infected after moving into
the rooms of those who had just recovered. The classic symptoms of
norovirus are "explosive" diarrhea and "projectile" vomiting , which
can send infectious particles flying yards away.
"I also saw a woman I'm sure had norovirus," Dr. Zeeman said. "She
said she'd gone to the bathroom 14 times at home and 4 times since she
came into the E.R. You can get dehydrated really quickly that way."
This month, the C.D.C. said the United States was having its biggest
outbreak of pertussis in 60 years; there were about 42,000 confirmed
cases, the highest total since 1955. The disease is unrelated to flu
but causes a hacking, constant cough and breathlessness. While it is
unpleasant, adults almost always survive; the greatest danger is
toinfants, especially premature ones with undeveloped lungs. Of the 18
recorded deaths in 2012, all but three were of infants under age 1.
That outbreak is worst incold-weather states, including Colorado,
Washington, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Vermont.
Although most children are vaccinated several times against pertussis,
those shots wear off with age. It is possible, the authorities said,
thata new, safer vaccine introduced in the 1990s gives protection that
does not last as long, so more teenagers and adults are vulnerable.
And, Dr. Poland said, if many New Yorkers are catching laryngitis , as
has been reported, it is probably a rhinovirus. "It's typically a
sore, really scratchy throat, and you sometimes lose your voice," he
said.
Though flu cases in New York City are rising rapidly , the city health
department has no plansto declare an emergency, largely because of
concern that doing so would drive mildly sick people to emergency
rooms, said Dr. Jay K. Varma, deputy director for disease control. The
city would prefer people went to private doctors or, if still healthy,
to pharmacies for flu shots. Nursing homes have had worrisome
outbreaks, he said, and nine elderly patients have died. Homes need to
be more alert, vaccinate patients, separate those who fall ill and
treat them faster with antivirals, he said.
Dr. Susan I. Gerber of theC.D.C.'s respiratory diseases branch, said
heragency has not seen any unusual spike of rhinovirus, parainfluenza
, adenovirus, coronavirus or the dozens of other causes of the "
common cold ," but the country is having its typical winter surge of
some, like respiratory syncytial virus "that can mimic flulike
symptoms, especially in young children."
The C.D.C. and the local health authorities continue to advocate
getting flu shots. Although it takes up to two weeks to build immunity
, "we don't know if the season has peaked yet," said Dr. Joseph
Bresee, chief of prevention in the agency's flu division.
Flu shots and nasal mists contain vaccines against three strains, the
H3N2, the H1N1 and a B. Thus far this season, Dr. Bresee said, H1N1
cases have been rare, and the H3N2 component has been a good match
against almost all the confirmed H3N2 samples the agency has tested.
About a fifth of all flus this year thus far are from B strains. That
part of the vaccine is a good match only 70 percent ofthe time,
because two B's are circulating.
For that reason, he said, flu shots are being reformulated. Within two
years, they said, most will contain vaccines against both B strains.
Joanna Constantine, 28, a stylist at the Guy Thomas Hair Salon on West
56th Street in Manhattan, said she recently was so sick that she was
off work and in bed for five days — and silenced by laryngitis for
four of them.
She did not have the classic flu symptoms — a high fever, aches and
chills — so she knew it was probably somethingelse.
Still, she said, it scared her enough that she will get a flu shot
next year. She had not bothered to get one since her last pregnancy ,
she said. Butshe has a 7-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter, "and
my little guys get theirs every year."
