Bird flu can be more dangerous than corona
Experts believe that the possibility of the bird flu epidemic spreading rapidly remains. H5N1 avian flu is spreading rapidly in America. In every state of America, its impact is visible on wild birds as well as commercial poultry and animals reared in the backyards of their homes.
Bird flu cases started coming in America
Several cattle herds along with mammals were found infected in four different US states. Apart from animals, this virus has also been found in a dairy worker in Texas. In this way, cases of bird flu have become a matter of great concern for scientists as well as the world.
The New York Post, quoting the Daily Mail, reported that Suresh Kuchipudi, a well-known bird flu researcher from Pittsburgh, recently discussed the issue, saying that the virus has been at the top of the epidemic list for many years and perhaps decades.
After coming into unprotected touch with virus-carrying birds, humans get the infection and become unwell. There is extremely little human-to-human transfer. Handling sick birds, touching or inhaling in their excrement or other secretions, preparing contaminated poultry for cooking, killing or butchering infected poultry, handling birds for sale, or going to marketplaces that sell live birds are among the behaviors that might cause the infection in people.
Humans can contract the virus by touching their mouth, nose, or eyes. However, a small percentage of individuals get infected even if they do not come into contact with infected birds.
