Can anybody here tell me all about bird flu? I know there were bird flu outbreaks in certain countries, but I just want to know where it came from, its causes, its treatments, etc.

Perhaps you are talking about the Avian influenza. It's actually a disease of the birds, which can also be contracted by humans, though human affectation is not very common. It has already resulted to a number of human deaths. Humans can contract the virus through contact with sick birds or contaminated surfaces. Common primary symptoms include cough, fever, sore throat, and muscle aches.

Refrain from taking poultry from exporting countries who have the virus. Or just don't anything poultry from anywhere for now.
