It was in the early 20th century in Italy that the first patient of bird flu was reported. Anyway this disease is now prevalent worldwide.

Hereafter bird flu prevention is at the top of mostly people's minds these days. Since this virus is communicable only from bird-to-human being and bird-to-bird, therefore there is little chance of it becoming communicable in U.S.

But viruses can mutate any time and may begin to transmit from man-to-man. Then what things can be done to stop that?

The right bird flu stoppage method thus start on with cleanness as is the condition with any other kind of flu. The other prevention measures involve combinations of several partially efficacious methods like vaccination, immunization, isolation and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The large scale slaying of the poultry birds is practiced when they get affected with it to put a stop on it out there only.

In United States, chicken farm holders have to keep farms sterile. They can put a stop on bird flu by taking charge of the causes behind it like overcrowding, lack of exercise of commercial poultry and excessive steroids.

But the right prevention way is going back to natural farm-reared chickens. Up till then cleanliness is essential. Self cleanness is essential too. But apart from that good health condition is more vital.

The immune system of the body should be healthy enough to endure all sorts of illness along with bird flu. It is practicable to avert bird flu. It only takes common sense, and a will to be strict with yourself when required. But as we all very well know "Health Is Wealth".
