The man who fronts TV warnings about swine flu has now been struck down with the illness himself.
　　David McCusker currently appears in a Department of Health ad which demonstrates the correct way to sneeze in order to combat the ongoing spread of the virus.
　　After McCusker is shown sneezing into a tissue, viewers are encouraged to remember basic hygiene with the tagline ’catch it, bin it, kill it’.
　　The 30-year-old has now told The Sun: "I was supposed to ’catch it, bin it, kill it’. But instead I’ve been shivering, shaking and spreading it."
　　McCusker called the Government’s national helpline after developing a cold and fever before being diagnosed and prescribed with tamiflu.
　　He added: "It was a shock when I found out. I quarantined myself to sweat it out. I’ve been getting lots of stick from mates. I caught it, didn’t bin it and spread it all over the place."
　　H1N1 flu is said to have so far affected 193,000 people worldwide.
