As a newcomer, I thought I would dip my toe in the forum waters.
So: Adding to the general overreaction.....

There's a TB called Pigalicious (https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1984713), a name which sounds eminently kissable, and it's in a cache called Swine Flu for Me and You (https://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=0087531a-1cf3-45c2-8462-d9bb41cf1f66). :ohmy:

I'm suprised it hasn't already been found by hundreds of people.

A bit of cheek and jowel (hugs and kisses :)) OK.

You will only catch swine flu if you ACTUALLY touch the cache container without gloves on......then and only then will you come out in rashers!!!

I'm pretty sure there's an oinkment to treat the rashers.

Thats right, but if you dont get the right oinkment, it aint gonna save your bacon....:D

Or put lots of different oinkments on.......you might as well go the full hog....:D

My pig's lost his voice; is this a symptom of swine flu, or is he just disgruntled? :rolleyes:

Getting back to the OP's question..."can you get swine flu from a geocache", well, I heard there was a cache in Mexico that a cacher was worried about, so he phoned the cache owner......and as he is a responsible cache owner, he had his 'phone number on the container, the worried cacher phoned him..........but all he could hear was crackling..........:D:D:D

I was going to tell everyone that I actually know the guy who owns that cache .... but then I'd be telling porkies! :lol:

Since it looks like swine flu may not be such a killer after all, I'm more worried about bird flu. I've heard it's untweetable.

The reporter who caused mass panic when he first broke this story has apparently been given the chop!
