Veterinarian Mikhail Shelyakov warned Russians about dangerous diseases that are directly related to birds.
It is very easy to catch bird flu and other problems that can follow from feathered friends. Despite the low risks of infection, the lethality of avian influenza for humans reaches 50%.
The veterinarian reminded that birds are dangerous with rabies and psittacosis, which can turn into pneumonia.
“First of all, rage. This is a focal disease that we used to associate with foxes and wolves,” the doctor said.
Ornithosis can be picked up in places of abundant accumulation of birds. For this reason, in the cities of Russia, informational reminders are increasingly appearing that it is impossible to feed the birds. This is dangerous both for the birds themselves, due to unusual food in the form of flour, and for people.
In addition, you should not touch poultry houses with your hands, feed birds from your hands, and also touch dead birds. No one knows exactly what the bird died from, this is the role of specially trained people.
“Birds can even carry tuberculosis caused by Koch’s wand,” Shelyakov added. AiF.
