Bird Flu

 One disease was not over and another is on our head!!

 This terrible disease is named as “BIRD FLU” also known as “AVIAN INFLUENZA”. It is a very painful disease just like “COVID -19”which was seen in the year 2020 . This dreadful disease can be transmitted via infected birds . Now you might be thinking  ‘but how’??

The answer to this question is that - many people might be consuming some dairy products of birds. If they by chance they have consumed eggs or meat of any infected bird then there are chances that the bird flu may attack the person . 

So, during this time it is not advisable to consume any product from poultry . This diseased can also be caused to humans if they come in contact with the faeces of infected bird or any type of secretion from nose or mouth of the bird. There can be many symptoms seen in humans just as covid-19. When a person  coughs or has fever or any muscle ache then they should go to a doctor and make sure that his/her check up is done .

 This infection is caused by H5N1 virus which may lead to multi-organ failure and viral pneumonia to the infected people. If you are infected by this virus then don’t panic, stay away from the other people and immediately contact a doctor . This illness can be cured with the antiviral medications such as tamiflu or relenza. To be on the safe side, these medications should be taken after 48 hours of the seen symptoms or better taken under doctor's prescription .
