Can i die from bird flu if i ignore it?

Yes: Bird flu is very serious, but you should speak with your doctor to determine what you really have if you have lung symptoms.

Yes but...: It isn't likely; the bird flu seems to be less deadly than initially anticipated. Getting treated will shorten the length of your illness some, and lessen the chance that you'll pass the virus on to someone else. Getting vaccinated is even better - you're much less likely to get sick and if you get sick, much less likely to die. Get vaccinated, get treated, and wash your hands!

Depends: Complex question: 1. Depending on genetic predisposition, some people may ignore it because it doesn't give them the terrible signs and symptoms that most other people get 2. Most people will treat their infection like any other flu-like illness and therefore, not ignoring it. 3.You will die if you truly doing nothing for "bird flu", likely from a secondary infection or other complication.
