no risk

I understand that the real risk is exposure to fecal matter (thats chicken poo to you). So provided your fowls are properly gutted and clean the risk is minimal. However don't expect to sell much turkey meat or chicken in the coming few weeks. The public are paranoid.
Strange that this has happened when there are no migrating species about. Does anyone else suspect the Animal Right terrorists or other political extremists might have had a hand in this? Bernard Mathews is the most prominent turkey farmer in the country. And Turkey farming is probably the most intensive form of "agribusiness". Of course these turkeys were due on our tables at Easter so this would be the optimum time to sabotage things.

For the Birds DEATH !!! As for you, I would check it out, After all the only people to have died from it lived with their livestock, and as you are handling raw meat you might have a slightly greater risk. As you are working for a major retailer, I'm sure they would not take any risk's. Ask you manager to investigate it. But my gut feeling is the risk is still very low. what about the slaughter house people, isn't their risk higher ?

It hits pandemic proportions when the virus is transmitted human to human, not bird to human. Your risk from slaughtered birds should be quite low, since they should have been culled out long before they hit the food supply.
If you were raising the live ones, that might be a different story.

To catch the virus you would you would have to be in very close and sustained contact with an infected bird. Cook poultry well just in case. Finally, if you are going to do something a bit more 'saucy' with the bird, be sure to wear protection.

its a beat up to sell tamiflue,
there is no risk unless your inhaling bird fecies/or blood from living birds ,and if only if they have it to begin and you have open wounds
it hasnt crossed the species barrier ,
it isnt able to be transmitted human to human
there are fewer cases than bee sting deasths ,but is a lovly money earner put into the minds of our leaders by lobbiests ,wanting to pannic govt and media
dont kill birds and your fine
its a huge beat up ,its to keep us destracted ,worry if you must but spread the rumour at risk of creating a pannic ,during time of war thats treason
if and a big IF it gets too bad it can only be by reason of treason ,
much as aids came via live virus from monkeys in the polio vacine ,using live virus polio vacine in africa as cover to clear out the africans from africa.
