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?

Hi
Boiled egg is not direct source of bird flu.
It is the chicken flesh which carries the virus.
Nipah virus is again zoonotic disease
Caused by bats.
Precautions -
You need to take precautions in endemic areas.
Eat Healty food.
Avoid exposure to the causative factors.
Avoid eating chicken in that area.
Theses are two communicable diseases so avoid the contact of the patient.
