Not sure about symptoms, but you definately get it by "Kissing Chickens"... so watch out, everyone.

Symptoms of avian flu are essentially the same as "regular" flu, though they continue to progress and worsen. I think lab tests are needed to determine if someone has the H5N1 strain.

E: I think you start sprouting feathers and clucking like a chicken. Phase II: your head starts bobbing back and forth, and you have a strange craving for worms and bugs.
Sorry - just don't want to fuel any ideas in your head... Travelling always helps me catch whatever bug is out there. And this year's flu is a doozy - but it's probably not Avian flu, unless you were around a large population of folk travelling from Asia (or Turkey, supposedly). The federal govt. CDC (Center for Disease Control) has some good, accurate information about the Avian flu.

Yeah, the flu this year is a nasty one. I stayed in bed for three days because of it.

Well, I haven't sprouted any feathers or anything so it must not have been bird flu...but yes, nasty none the less. Thanks for all the info and well wishes, I'm not back up to 100% but getting there.

I think while you have been down your muse may have stepped out. Now I can't be sure but the evidence points to a quick trip to taiwan where some unwary scientist was inspired to
create a glow in the dark fluorescent green pig. So please drink some fluids and get back on the stick before they figure out it would be much cooler if it could fly.

Thanks Mike, that story was quite strange....what will they think of next? And hopefully I'll "get back on the stick" again soon. (does that mean get better?)
:confused:

Try some hot tea with raspberry juice, sandwiches with garlic or hot milk with butter and honey! These are Polish ways to get rid of flu. I hope you feel better soon!!!!
