I would not worry too much about human illness. This is not the same as the Asian avian flu that infected people. Even the strain that can infect people has a fairly low mortality rate compared to other diseases that are much more prevalent.

Let me correct that for you. You are referring to H5N1 -- Asian bird flu. It has a 90-100% mortality rate in chickens and a 60% mortality rate in humans. Pigs and donkeys also get it. If you catch H5N1 the odds of you surviving it are not with you.
