How do you get bird flu?

Not easily: Our cdc and other international agencies keep track of the number of cases and try to kill infected birds. So far, most of those infected have been poultry workers, in close contact with birds. There is some concern that transmission to other animals or humans may become easier, but that has not yet happened.

Bird Flu: The h5n1 bird flu virus is spread when wild birds pass the virus along to birds such as chickens or ducks that are being raised for human consumption.

See your doctor: There are several effective medications, which if taken early in the course of influenza are very effective in reducing symptoms, shortening the duration of disease and reducing secondary complications.
