There are a lot of scary stories out there about avian flu. It is a worrisome disease, but some simple precautions will protect you and your pets. The virus is killed by cooking or pasteurization, so avoid raw milk, eggs and uncooked meat, and don’t feed any of these, or any raw diets, to your furry family members. Cooking is a good thing-it’s saved millions of people (and pets) from some nasty illnesses over the years!!
The risk of bird flu to humans is low, but eating undercooked eggs or chicken could increase your chances of exposure to infection and germs.
