A member asked:
If i put my hand to my nose after accidentally touching dry/sticky bird poo am i at high risk of a bird realted illness?

No: In such a scenario, on an average day in a typical place on Earth, a person would not be at high risk of catching a bird-related illness. She would not be at medium risk either. Probably not even at low risk... but maybe at slight risk. Of course, we don't live our lives worrying about slight risks from random bird poop encounters. No worries.
