Bird Flu Outbreak in Bihar Sparks Health Alert

Bird flu, also known as avian influenza, has been found in dead crows in Darbhanga district, Bihar.

This virus can make birds very sick and can sometimes spread to people who come into close contact with infected birds.

Symptoms in humans can include fever, cough, and trouble breathing.

To stay safe, people should avoid touching sick or dead birds, wash their hands often, and cook poultry thoroughly.

Health officials are working to stop the spread by testing birds, safely disposing of dead ones, and monitoring poultry farms.

While bird flu in humans is rare, it can be very serious, so it's important to take precautions and seek medical help if needed.
