yeah but im pretty sure its passed on thru inhalation transmission. Some diseases are passed on thru the air some are passed on by eating an infected animal e.g. salmonella.
Im not worried and i work with chickens and parrots and stuff. If it happens it happens.
oh here we go i went on thier site and found "On the basis of current scientific evidence, the Food Standards Agency advises that avian flu does not pose a food safety risk for UK consumers. This is because for people, the risk of catching the disease is from being in close contact with live poultry that have the disease and not through eating cooked poultry, game or eggs. "
This site will help if your worried, like prince said the papers just wind u up.
