Chicken droppings on Eggs
Hi doctors
Today, while boiling eggs, I noticed some chicken droppings on it. Later I read that viruses can spread through chicken (droppings) like Nipah Virus or Bird Flu, etc. Can any doctor provide insight into this? And what precaution can be taken in future to avoid infection?
