Protect yourself with these common-sense prevention steps:
Do not touch dead or sick birds with bare hands, and avoid touching bird poop.
Maintain a distance when observing wild birds; avoid close contact.
If you step in bird poop, remove your shoes before going inside.
Cook animal products properly before eating or drinking. Consuming raw or unpasteurized milk or dairy products and other uncooked or undercooked products increases the risk of bird flu.
