On April 5, a 4-year-old boy from Henan Province who had chickens and ducks in and around his home developed a fever and other symptoms. He was admitted to a local medical facility ten days later, the health commission said.
Birds can catch the highly pathogenic illness when they come into contact with the"saliva, nasal secretions or feces" of an infected bird, the CDC. Since the latest outbreak, farms have had to kill millions of poultry to limit the disease's spread.
Experts say although the H3N8 virus originates from birds, cases have been detected across an array of species throughout the world. Human cases of the avian flu are rare, but they are possible when enough viral components get into the eyes, nose or mouth. Direct or indirect exposure to infected live or dead poultry, like at live bird markets, pose as the primary risks for human infections, according to the. Once a person is infected, symptoms range from conjunctivitis, fever, diarrhea and vomiting to severe respiratory illness and neurological changes.
Health officials have urged the public to avoid contact with sick and dead birds, and say it is still safe to eat properly handled poultry cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
