When you hear the news of birth flu in the news, there is a fear in the mind that eating eggs might cause infection. In such a situation, get the correct information and then take a decision.
Bird Flu: News of bird flu has started coming from many parts of the country, due to which there may be a shortage of poultry products, and retail prices may also be affected. Bird flu, also known as avian influenza (H5N1), is an infectious disease that is mainly found in birds. However, sometimes this infection can also spread to humans, causing serious health problems. In such a situation, the question arises in the minds of people whether eating eggs can increase the risk of bird flu?
Can bird flu spread through eggs?
The bird flu virus usually spreads through the saliva, nasal secretions, and feces of infected birds. If a chicken is infected with this virus, its eggs can also be infected. However, the chances of spreading this infection by eating well-cooked eggs are negligible, because the virus is destroyed at high temperatures.
Danger from raw or undercooked eggs is high.
If a person eats raw or undercooked eggs, there is a possibility of the presence of the virus in them. The bird flu virus can survive for a long time in a cold environment, but it is completely destroyed at a temperature of 70°C or more. Therefore, one should avoid consuming raw eggs and eat eggs only after cooking them thoroughly.
Should we avoid eating eggs or not?
During the bird flu outbreak, people are often afraid to eat eggs and chicken. However, experts believe that if eggs are cooked properly, there is no harm in eating them. Eating boiled eggs or properly fried and cooked eggs eliminates the risk of infection.
Precautions that must be taken
1. Always buy fresh and clean eggs.
2. Eat eggs only after cooking them properly.
3. Avoid buying eggs from infected areas.
4. Do not forget to wash your hands before and after eating.
