The WHO confirms that if the poultry products are safely handled and properly cooked, then humans are not at risk of acquiring H5N1 (bird flu) infection through food.
European countries where the virus has been detected have reported big drops in consumption of chicken and other poultry products, and France, Europe's largest producer, is facing curbs to its exports. Some 20 countries, including Morocco, Egypt, Thailand and South Korea, representing 5 percent of French foreign poultry sales, have imposed restrictions after the deadly disease was found in a turkey farm in the east of the country.
Globally, the evidence demonstrates that there is no risk of infection when birds and eggs are well cooked, as this kills the virus. Poultry products are important sources of protein.
It is noted that since December 2003, when the virus reappeared, 173 people have been infected, of whom 93 have died. But none of these cases has been linked to the consuming of properly cooked poultry.
Avian influenza (bird flu) is caused by strains of influenza A that normally infect only wild birds (and sometimes pigs). Infections due to these strains have recently been detected in humans.
Highly infective avian flu viruses, such as H5N1, have been shown to survive in the environment for long periods of time, and infection may be spread simply by touching contaminated surfaces. Birds who recover from the flu can continue to shed the virus in their feces and saliva for as long as 10 days.
Because eggshells are often contaminated with bird droppings, avoid mayonnaise, hollandaise sauce, ice cream, and any other foods containing raw or undercooked eggs.
If the bird affected with flu conceives the egg it may also be affected by flu.
Better don't take eggs for few more days, especially if you are in North India.
Well cooked egg is safe. Well, avoid too much of egg for fear of too much cholesterol.
