What is Bird Flu ?

Birds have bird flu and we humans have human flu.
It’s difficult for humans to catch bird flu and the vice versa as well.

( If at all, you closely observe birds, like your pet dogs, you will find birds also regularly suffer from common cold (flu) with running eyes, drooling and loose green stool every winter. But then when they are sick, the poultry owners disposes these sick and dead birds as fast as possible. The problem starts then.)

When we humans suffer our flu, we try our level best to get cured. But when birds catch bird flu and start dying, we jump upon them, kill them and use them for cheap and quick meal.

Their body fluids, secretions, blood contains the germ in plenty. It contaminates their eggs and flesh. It also infects our hands that pluck and peal their skin.
The poultry handlers are affected. The chicken and egg eaters are affected next.

Believe me, the bird flu enters the humans with much reluctance. It’s real hard to catch bird flu. Otherwise every winter thousands of us would die. But once inside human beings, it finds no immunity to block them and spreads like wild fire. People are dead before long.
The epidemic starts.

( NB– Have you ever seen how poultry is overpacked and transported. 100% of them are injured with broken wings and fractured legs during this transport. These injuries are infected by the time they are sold to us. It’s a miracle of the heat, fire and spices that we don’t suffer after consuming those poisoned flesh.)
