Parents, you need to make sure your kids are washing their hands.

A new case of swine flu has been reported in Illinois.

A boy caught it after going to a county fair.

It's called H3N2v and is a variation first discovered last year.

The flu is typically transmitted from pigs to humans.

Illinois' Department of Public Health is encouraging fair goers to wash their hands around animals.
