george Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 People warned to keep away from carcases of dead fowls BANGKOK: -- People should not keep close to carcases of dead fowls without wearing hygienic masks, Deputy Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul warned here on Friday. People should keep away from carcases of dead fowls, and immediately report to local officials or public health volunteers if they come across dead poultry, Mr. Anutin said. "In case that anyone has to keep close to live or dead poultry, they must always wear rubber gloves and hygienic masks to protect themselves from avian flu," Mr. Anutin suggested. The minister also asked local media to publicize proper approaches on preventing avian flu and coping with suspected cases. --TNA 2005-11-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASIC Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) Has anyone heard if bird droppings are part of the health risk? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, avoid bird droppings at all cost. The droppings are THE major source of speading of the flu. Specially breathing the dust from such droppings, as it is airborn, full of bacteria and carry the flu.
