Science Time

Psittacosis, also known as "bird plague", is a very rare disease. According to statistics, there are about 50 new cases of psittacosis in the United States each year. In my country, cases of psittacosis are also sporadic.

Psittacosis Chlamydia not only exists in birds, but also lives in poultry such as chickens and ducks, and is mainly transmitted through bird feces and poultry excrement.

Doctors remind people to avoid contact with live poultry as much as possible, and not to purchase, cook or eat poultry of unknown origin or dead poultry. When cooking poultry, wear a mask and gloves, and wash your hands with soap and water immediately after contact.

If you feel unwell

Seek medical attention promptly
