Asian Bird Flu
Stopping the Asian bird flu in its
track
There is more than one Asian bird flu
strain and not all of them have the same level of health hazards.
Some of these Asian bird flu strains will kill you and some will
just make you very ill. The most dangerous of the Asian bird flu
strains is the H5N1, which happened to occur for the first time in
1997. This Asian bird flu does not only kill people, in fact it
kills many more chickens than it does human beings.
The Asian bird flu has killed
millions of chickens all over Asia and this has had a serious effect
on the people there and how they make a living from year to year.
Many chicken farmers have lost all of their stock several times over
all thanks to the Asian bird flu. Those whose chickens did not get
sick and die have had to have their chickens culled in order to try
and contain the Asian bird flu. So as you can see, the Asian bird
flu has an affect on much more than just making some people sick.
 Not many people get the Asian bird
flu but out of those who do many will die and have died over the
years. Around half of those who catch the Asian bird flu will die
from it and this is not going to change unless the world comes up
with an effective Asian bird flu vaccine. The good news is that this
Asian bird flu vaccine is in the works right now and hopefully it
will be perfected sometime soon.
The main places that have to be
worried about the Asian bird flu are all in Asia. These countries
are Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. If you live in these
places and you deal with chickens on a daily basis then you need to
be aware of the dangers of the Asian bird flu.
The Asian bird flu has not killed
many people or even infected that many over the last few years even
though there has been so much talk about the Asian bird flu. Most of
those who have caught it are those who have direct contact with the
chickens.
No matter where it is that you live
it is important that you know that everyone is doing all that they
can to contain any Asian bird flu outbreaks.
