There are many viruses out there that invade the body and cause various nasty infections. These can range from the common cold and influenza to HIV/AIDS, chickenpox and shingles. Symptoms of a viral infection can include high fever, coughing, sneezing, sore throat, diarrhea, general malaise, tiredness and more. One of the most significant problems with viral infections is that they spread quickly from person to person through sharing or touching the same objects, or via the air through minute amounts of sputum ejected by the sick person via coughing or sneezing. Antibiotics don’t work against viruses, but tulsi does. It has proven effective against H1N1 and Swine Flu.
