How can humans get bird flu?

While this is uncommon, people can get infected with bird flu. Between 2003 and 2004, there have been a little over 300 documented cases of bird flu in humans. People can get bird flu the same way as birds i.e. by contact with nasal secretions, feathers, droppings or cages of infected birds. Therefore, most cases of people getting bird flu have been when they have had close contact with infected birds (such as keeping chickens at home or slaughtering and de-feathering infected chickens)

When the bird strain of influenza infects people, it causes a very severe illness in which less than a third of those infected will live. If treated early more people survive, however, half of the patient still die.
An additional fear is that the strain of bird flu will 鈥榗ombine鈥?with the strain of human influenza allowing human to human spread to occur more easily. If this occurs then a world-wide epidemic (pandemic) of influenza is predicted

If you have a compromised immune system such as from certain cancers, HIV/AIDS etc. Or unless your elderly or very young (which I'm guess your not). Now it can get you pretty sick for a week or so but if your just teen-60's you should be able to fight it.
