Influenza, or the flu, is a contagious viral infection that attacks your nose, throat, and lungs. It can cause fever, chills, runny nose, sore throat, cough, muscle aches, and fatigue. The flu virus is extremely small and only visible through electron microscopes. Inside the virus, genetic material contains the information to make more copies of the same virus. A protein shell provides a hard, protective enclosure for the genetic material as the virus travels between the people or animals it infects. An outer envelope allows the virus to infect cells by merging with the cell's outer membrane. Projecting from the envelope are spikes of protein molecules. The flu virus uses its H spikes like a key to get inside your cells. N spikes allow copies of the virus to break away from your infected cells to infect more cells. There are 17 known types of H spikes and nine types of N spikes that scientists use to name different flu viruses, such as the virus H5N1. You get the flu by touching an object that has the flu virus on it or through exposure to body fluids from people or animals infected with the virus. When an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes, droplets carrying the influenza virus may land in your mouth or nose and then move into your lungs. Once inside your body, the influenza virus comes into contact with cells in your nose, throat, or lungs. The H spike on the virus inserts into a receptor molecule on your healthy cell membrane, like a key in a lock. This action allows the virus to get inside your cell. Next, the virus travels inside a sack made from your cell membrane to your cell's nucleus. Then the viral envelope and cell membrane sack combine, allowing the viral genetic material to leave the sack and enter the nucleus. The viral genetic material hijacks the energy and materials in your cell's nucleus to make thousands of copies of itself. Some of the genetic material moves out of the nucleus, then attaches to ribosomes, which are the protein building parts of your cell. Ribosomes use information from the genetic material to make other viral proteins, such as the H and N spikes. A packaging structure in your cell, called the Golgi apparatus, carries the H and N spikes in vesicles which merge with your cell's membrane. All the parts needed to create a new virus gather just beneath your cell's membrane. Then a new virus begins to bud off from the cell's membrane. During this process, the newly created virus gets stuck on your cell's membrane when a viral H spike locks onto membrane receptors. However, the virus has a way to get around this problem. The viral N spike frees the virus by cutting it away from the receptor. New influenza viruses are now free to infect more of your cells and cause you to develop the flu. If you have the flu, your doctor may prescribe Oseltamivir, which you would take orally, or Zanamivir, which you would take using an inhaler, to help speed your recovery or reduce your risk for complications. These anti-viral drugs stop the influenza virus by blocking the viral N spike from freeing the virus. This causes the new viruses to stick to the surface of your cell, so they cannot escape and infect more of your cells. The best way to protect yourself from the flu is to get the flu vaccine every year. You may receive the vaccine as a shot, which contains dead versions of several types of the virus, or you may receive it as a nasal spray, which contains several types of live, but very weak, forms of the virus. The vaccine exposes your body to several types of the influenza virus that are too weak to cause infection but just strong enough to stimulate an immune response. Within two weeks, cells in your immune system make markers called antibodies, which are specific for only the types of flu you were exposed to. The antibodies attach to each flu virus and prevent it from attaching to your cells. Antibodies are also able to attach to more than one flu virus, which causes viruses to clump together. Your immune system responds to signals from the antibodies by engulfing and destroying the clumps of viruses. Later, if you are exposed to these types of flu again, your body recognizes and destroys them, so you will not develop the flu from these same viruses. For continued protection against new flu viruses, you will need to get a flu vaccine every year.

Dude it's not until I'm sick is when I appreciate being healthy.

EXACTLY
Yea
Oh most definetely!!
Yeah

I hope whoever's watching this with the flu gets better :)
Tnx
Thank you
Thanks
Thank you ❤️

I can't wait for the time when I can take another pill of paracetamol, the muscle ache and chills are killing me 💀
I wish you and me rapid recovery, fellow sick human who happens to read this
You just like me fr. This feels like death.
Living hell
How many days did it take to recover 😢😢
I'm not even sickk
If you've ever had full blown flu....its like being close to death. Its horrendous.
Also watching this while I’m suffering through the flu. It’s amazing that our bodies are able to fight this nastiness off at all.
Well, some bodies aren’t
Not those with AIDS
Me too
I can't believe I have this shit inside of my body right now

YEAH!
"Haha no"
*Proceeds to give you cancer*
OHHHRAHHHHHHH!
Fuck yeah!!!!
Yea. Speak for me. I have a badass cough + laryngitis
The most annoying thing about having this is that it's not so debilitating that you can't even walk straight, but at the same time its symptoms are just bad enough to sap your motivation to want to do anything
Let's all admit it
Everyone watching this has the flu.
Well most of us
WITHERDRAGON YT actually I don’t 😂 had my flu shot
Nope! I just have the sniffles, something is in there but it's definitely not the flu or even a cold for that matters
Nope i’m studying pharmacology so i had to get an overview first
Yes i am sad 😢
Oi feel like I have fucking aids
The body can do all this but can’t remember what I learned 20 minutes after i learned it. Now how dat work
lol 🤣
@@elijahellis5450 Yeah but if one part of the body can do some hardcore intelligent stuff, shouldn't the LITERAL COMMAND CENTER also do this?

I just got the flu 4 days ago. 1st time in my life, nasty nasty nasty. You get sore pretty much all day that goes from back to neck and chills. And the worse coughing too. So hard to sleep at night unless you are drugged up.
Yes 😢😢
Im having BAD flu right now, oh god this is hell... 😭😭
Anni Parviainen Same, but I'm getting better!
i have such a HORRIBLE flu right now...how long did it take you to feel better?? :(
Get better soon
Anni Parviainen hope u get better
Abhinay Rao same :(
The worst part is the aches. My eyes feel like theyre falling out and my skin is on fire
zack joseph I think I feel the opposite. My eyes feel like they’re on fire and my skin feels like they want to fall off my body. How long did it take for you to get better?
Fizz826 that one was about 10 days. Not fun
Damn im on day 6 and i feel waay better than i did yesterday..im just soo weak and no appetite i wanna walk around out back but i swear the fatigue with this one fuked me up
@@zackjoseph9127 ohh good 10 days
Me : fucking 3 weeks
With me it was sore eyes (light sensitivity) and achy all over. I was so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep. I had chills followed by extreme night sweats.
Watching this for fun
Although praying for you people who have the flu now🙏
Same. Except I am an atheist.
@BIG OOFCHUNGUS 🖕🖕
Me too. Im not ill
@BIG OOFCHUNGUS yep
@Uh Oh Not Stinky it will :P
First time having flu. What I can say is it is really abrupt. Fever, headaches, eye pain, but no sore throat though. The interesting part is that the symptons went away from one day to another, and I felt as if I actually did not get sick. Unlike the common cold which goes away gradually, at least in my case. I'd say the flu is more painful and annoying than the common cold, but at least to me it lasted 5 days and then went back to normal.
What is common cold, if it is not viral infection? Some viruses though are more aggressive than others. HIV is scary because it writes its code into the host DNA. That's it. No way to get rid of it.
Exactly my experience I suddenly developed a fever and chills after feeling fine, went to bed and woke up feeling fine. Went to work. The next day had all of your symptoms and couldn’t get out of bed. Day 3 still fatigued but definitely feel a tad better. Made me realise that it’s my first time also having the flu.
Really? I get flu every month.
@@dsrgalactix8806 how come is it the first time? Almost everyone gets it every year
@@vzzc uh no they don’t lmao people can go their whole lives without getting it.
virus : nothing can destroy me.
immune system : hold my beer...
Yeah I have pneumonia and the flu immune system is gonna kill it self

How do you deal with Flu? Let me know in the comments below
Also if you are feeling stressed you should watch this video ruclips.net/video/6TLG-uSrvdk/видео.html
I've been laid waste for 4 days thanks to these little boogers ...still it's kind of fascinating what's going on inside.
Same here. Miserable illness. My son is just getting over it and he got the freaking flu shot. I did not. This at least explains why he could still have gotten it though.
@Carl John so not true. The flu usually last 5 to 10 days. That's why it's such a pain in the ass and it takes a lot out of you. I just came from the doctor this morning and my son had it for 5 days last week. They even wrote his excuse for him not to go back to school until the following week so he would not spread it and because he would be so fatigued. It's not just a virus where you get better in 2 days.
@Carl John influenza or cold last for a week
@Carl John also he meant he's had the flu for 4 days so far, not *had the flu for 4 days
i have it right now and it is something fierce severe chest pains dizziness body aches at first i thought i was a dead man it hurt so bad
tyler hornbrook I have it right now it's hell
Lol at 1st yes. Hows ot going now
tyler hornbrook hope u get better
Easy tisuehhe
Why do these viruses look like sweets?
haha
Clickbait
Design choice I guess?
God dang these kids. First they’re eating tide pods, now they’re eating flu viruses.
NSA - National Security Administration People ingest viruses all the time. It's how we contract infections.
My third day with the flu and I feel like I'm about to faint but won't, shivers all around my belly with bad painful cough still and legs with joint pain on both legs as well. Thirsty all the time with dehydration marks on my lips. It sucks and I don't wish this to even my worst enemy.
Heavy flu and the side effects of the medicine knock me down...I am so sleepy and tried. This is the third week in bed. I am kinda depressing
Who's watching this while they have the flu? I am :P
Pepe ツ lol me too
Pepe ツ Me!!
Pepe ツ meee

Pepe ツ how did you know?!?!
I feel like I’m literally gonna die. My muscles hurt so bad I can’t even get out of bed without help
Are you good now?
@@denialxproductions127 yea I'm pretty sure he is I had it for a week and it's gone now
I feel like I’m gonna die
rip
Did u have any chest or abdominal pain cause I have the flu now and I have abdominal pain should I be worried
I have the flu right now. Came on strong Sunday. Today is Tuesday. What this lovely virus can offer you:
- Alternating between chills and fever sweats
- No sleep
- No appetite
- Dizziness
- Deep dry honking chest cough
- Confusion
- Hopelessness
I cant wait to recover. I will have a new appreciation for good health that's for damn sure.
If anyone here feels the flu coming on make sure to see a doctor asap so the Tamiflu meds work.
Very similar experience here also.
No school?
I totally appreciate how this went from systemic POV to a microbiological POV. Good stuff.
It's crazy knowing stuff like this is always happing and you can't see it. The microscopic world is truly amazing.

Are you ok now
How did this get into my recommendations?
...This is the sign that I’m going to get sick soon, isn’t it?
Really interesting reading all the comments. 65 and never had the flu in my life or taken an antibiotic in over 30 years. On no medication and would never take any without trying to fix it myself first. Keep your vit d blood levels optimal. I like mine over 150nmol. I take vit c magnesium zinc melatonin iodine selenium at optimal doses. Also all the b vitamins. I exercise dong smoke or drink keep away from processed food and sugar and heat treated chemical cooking oils. Its not hard. Prevention is the key in my opinion.

I have my immune system to thank for fighting off these viruses
StephySimsx mine was strong idk what happened
I think I found an anti-vaxxer
Until one day you get it. I've never had it and I never get sick and I got it. Don't be so cocky because it's a big pain in the ass and I've been sicker than I ever have been. I take good care of myself and I eat healthy and I would dare say I have a very good immune system considering I never get sick until now.
@@MLGtroll365 same lol, i also have strong immue system...
I only get sick on 1 to 3 years old and never more
My immune system gave up i get sick alot like almost every month
having flu while watching this hit diff...
So where just going to ignore the fact that I just got over this and now it’s in my recommendations
I have watched quite a few of these information videos by Nucleus Medical Media, and find them very interesting and informative, but why o why do they have to have that ridiculous, and hugely annoying, "Sample Use Only" stamp across the bloody middle???
Thanks for your comment. We originally did it for copyright protection. Many people will download and reuse our animations in other platforms so we needed a way to quickly id our content and make it easy to prove it was stolen. These days platforms have AI to find copyright infringement, so it's not necessary and we will slowly be replacing the older versions with animations that don't have the Sample Use Only watermark.
Leave alone the influenza, I appreciate the effort that goes into creating these animations
I had the Flu a few times. It's been many years since I've been sick at all, but the last time I was (With the Flu) I was passing out from how intense the nausea was. My sweat was like somebody poured a bottled water on me..man..it's not fun..
This hits harder when u got sore throat
My body is a baddass
I had a bad flu yesterday and i threw up I was walking back to my bed but then everything started to get blurry so I got tried to get to my bed really quick but then tripped and hit my nose and it started bleeding bad but I’m ok now

I used to get the flu a lot when i ate alot of junkfood, when I was 8-20.
After I went vegan i NEVER had the flu since, been 7 years.
ooof
ive never had it in my life
You don't have to necessarily go vegan to have a healthy immune system, a person can eat both meat and vegetables but on a healthy basis, and should also stop junk food
@@ham4da True but meat inflames.
and covid?
I just came here to shout out the normal flu… since the world obsessed with the “novel” thing.
Because it is not the normal flu it has a 3%mortality rate and an r factor of 3 much higher than the flu
I’ve gotten the flu before when I was little. Luckily I survived.
Respect to the cameravirus who recorded this for the education of others
Did a full day's work yesterday with this, genuinely felt like a zombie. Barely slept last night but this morning I'm feeling better.
Salute to medical science and thousands of scientists who have discovered these processes through immense research over the years for us to create a cure n vaccines. Hats off..

Wow, my question is, HOW do scientists KNOW all of this
They read a book.
Learning process is really infinite. You have to be exposed to the virus to create antibodies. You have to make mistakes in order to learn. Life really is full of surprises. A complex infinite loop of interconnected events that makes us the way we are. Just evolving amidst everything. This video is so timely and makes me appreciate the beauty of science in all aspects

Yet another who’s got the flu. I felt fine yesterday morning. But by lunch I had the chills, fever, and body aches. Doctor gave me tamiflu today, never had it before, but hopefully it helps. He said it’s press effective if you catch it within 48 hours.
i have never watched such comprehensive video about viruses
I remember having the flu in 6th grade and it felt like if fire burning my throat and when I coughed it felt like my throat would explode. The only good thing about it was that I got 2 weeks off of school even though I was sick for 1 week. 🤧🤢🤒😷

@XyvenuZ Agree. But studies in the microbiome field suggests that some virus may possibly be beneficial also....but this is early on research.
@XyvenuZ You seem well informed. Check out 'bacteriaphage'. They are viruses that attack harmful bacteria without destroying good bacteria (nature's antibiotics). Unfortunately not much will be done in the US with this research because big pharma can't make it into a pill and overcharge us for the treatment.

- Fever (averaged 101°F but did go as high as 104°F on Dec 9)
- Chills
- Severe congestion
- Hacking cough
- Muscle aches
- Sweating
- Difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
- Loss of smell from the congestion
I had to see a doctor on Dec 10, 2022 and I got tested. When the test result came back, it was confirmed that I was positive for the flu.
