H1N1. That means there's a 79 out of 80 chance the person you heard sneeze doesn't have it," explained Siegel, who's also the author of several books, including Swine Flu: The New Pandemic.

"But, we're a nation of worried well. You're minding your own business and someone tells you you're going to die of something and then you worry about that and everything else that might kill you. We need to think about things in context. In this case, do what you can -- get the vaccine, wash your hands -- but remember it's a remote risk," advised Siegel.
