In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains bird flu (avian flu). *What is bird flu?* Bird flu, or avian flu, is an infectious type of influenza that spreads among birds. In rare cases, it can affect humans. There are lots of different strains of bird flu virus. Most of them don't infect humans. But there are 4 strains that have caused concern in recent years: H5N1 (since 1997) H7N9 (since 2013) H5N6 (since 2014) H5N8 (since 2016) *How does bird flu spreads to humans?* Bird flu is spread by close contact with an infected bird (dead or alive). This includes: touching infected birds touching droppings or bedding killing or preparing infected poultry for cooking Markets where live birds are sold can also be a source of bird flu. Avoid visiting these markets if you're travelling to countries that have had an outbreak of bird flu. You can't catch bird flu through eating fully cooked poultry or eggs, even in areas with an outbreak of bird flu. *How to prevent bird flu* Wash your hands often with warm water and soap, especially before and after handling food, in particular raw poultry Use different utensils for cooked and raw meat Make sure meat is cooked until steaming hot Avoid contact with live birds and poultry *Symptoms of bird flu in humans* The main symptoms of bird flu can appear very quickly and include: a very high temperature or feeling hot or shivery aching muscles headache a cough or shortness of breath Conjunctivitis Other symptoms may include: diarrhoea sickness stomach pain chest pain bleeding from the nose and gums It usually takes 3 to 5 days for the first symptoms to appear after you've been infected. Within days of symptoms appearing, it's possible to develop more severe complications such as pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Getting treatment quickly, using antiviral medicine, may prevent complications and reduce the risk of developing severe illness. Contact your health provider if you experience any symptoms of bird flu and have visited an area affected by bird flu in the past 10 days. Your symptoms can be checked over the phone. *Treatment for bird flu* If it's thought you might have symptoms of bird flu you'll be advised to stay at home, or you'll be cared for in hospital in isolation from other patients. You may be given an antiviral medicine such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or zanamivir (Relenza).
