Tips for bird flu prevention
Among the further precautions DNR recommends for waterfowl hunters:
- Do not harvest or handle wild birds that are obviously sick or found dead.
- Process wild birds in the field. Remains from processed birds should be buried on-site or double-bagged and disposed of with household trash.
- Wear rubber or disposable gloves while handling and cleaning wild birds, and wash hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand cleanser, even if hands are not visibly soiled.
- Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth when handling wild birds.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling or cleaning wild birds.
- Thoroughly clean and disinfect all knives, equipment and surfaces that come into contact with wild birds.
- Fever with temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, often accompanied by chills.
- Sore throat.
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath.
- Eye tearing, redness or irritation.
- Runny or stuffy nose.
- Muscle or body aches.
