Bird flu is an influenza-like disease. The disease is caused by the avian influenza virus. The virus is usually transmitted through birds. The disease also spreads rapidly as birds migrate easily from one place to another. This bird flu is contagious. After infection with this virus, the patient’s body initially shows signs of fever. Symptoms include fever, body aches, chills, sneezing, coughing, pate aches, muscle aches, chundering, and dyspepsia. In many cases, these symptoms are very common. There is chances of fatality. Encephalitis, heart infection, myositis contain antibacterial drugs for bird flu.

Bird flu can spread from person to person through direct contact with an infected person. Infected bird eggs or meat can cause bird flu if not cooked properly. It is a contagious viral disease. In the case of bird flu diagnosis, the virus can be detected by looking at the antibodies to the virus in the blood using PCR. Ducks or chickens or other birds should not be caught or moved. Sick ducks, chickens or other birds should be kept away from children. News of the H5N1 virus first surfaced in 1998.

I have been writing several omnibus of writings. I started writing creativities at the age of seven. I've narrated many dramas, wrote collection and pages of stories, directed and casted dramas in the school life. I have kept this passion aside along with my studies.
