Understanding Bird Flu

Bird flu is caused by influenza viruses that primarily infect birds but can occasionally spread to humans. The H5N1 strain has been particularly notable for its impact.

Global Impact and Human Health Risks

While bird flu has led to significant agricultural challenges, human infections remain rare and are typically associated with direct contact with infected poultry. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently assesses the risk to the general public as low.

Preventive Measures

To minimize the risk of bird flu transmission, consider the following:

• Avoid Contact: Refrain from handling sick or dead birds.

• Cook Poultry Thoroughly: Ensure poultry and eggs are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

• Practice Good Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling birds or their environments.
