new findings

Avian Flu is something that everybody knows but not fully understand.

I had found out that avain flu is not transmitted by the consumption eggs and egg products. Furthermore, the flu virus are transmitted by means of faeces, secretions, or saliva, or surfaces, dirt, or cages that have been contaminated by the infected birds which the virus can be killed at above 70 degrees celcius, and this piece of info is supported by at least 3 sources. likewise, i also found that people can get safe consumption of the food products if the cooks practices good hygience such as separate the cooked and the uncooked food, and sufficent heat to kill the virus,

so why are people so worried about getting avian flu by the consuming eggs and egg products if the food industry practices the above?

anyway, from our problem package, the ingredient that can link to avian flu are eggs, so i guess our main concern about avian flu are eggs.
