One more battle against nature attack.
Nature God is a whimsical God. At times it bestows all its boons on mankind and then there are times when it shows its harshest face. Since times immemorial man has been betraying nature and transforming it according to his own needs and requirements. Every time the human race tries to change the natural cycle there occurs devastation, a warning from the nature’s side. But man is even blessed with greatest gifts from the almighty in the shape of this Mother Nature. In case there occurs any trouble that is more because of his wrong deeds and ill doings. But he courageously faces the consequences and tries to find a solution to the existing problem.
This time the problem occurred with the chickens. The spread of this disease called Avian Flu or Bird Flu. At this time avian influenza (H5N1), is a disease of wild birds and domesticated poultry like farm chickens, ducks, and turkeys. Although millions of birds have been infected, only a very small number of people have been infected. Because all influenza viruses have the ability to change there is concern that the H5N1 virus could mutate and be spread easily and widely by humans. If that happens, it is possible that a pandemic or widespread outbreak of disease could occur. Viruses are masters of interspecies navigation. Mutating rapidly and often grabbing the genetic material of other viruses, they can jump from animals to humans with a quick flick of their DNA. Since the 1980s, the list of diseases that have hitchhiked directly from animals to people has grown rapidly — hantavirus, SARS, monkey pox and, most recently, avian influenza, commonly called bird flu. With the exception of HIV/AIDS, perhaps none of these illnesses has more potential to create widespread harm than bird flu does.
In people, bird flu usually begins much like conventional influenza, with fever, cough, sore throat and muscle aches, but bird flu can lead to life-threatening complications. Avian influenza is not easily passed from birds to humans. People may get avian influenza by touching an infected bird, fluid or surfaces contaminated with fluids from infected birds and then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth. People who could be at risk are those who travel to countries with outbreaks of avian influenza and have close contact with live or improperly cooked poultry while there. Individuals with avian influenza (H5N1) usually develop symptoms within 10 days of contact with infected birds. Symptoms are usually severe and include high fever, muscle aches, cough, mucus production and shortness of breath. Abdominal pain and diarrhea can also occur.
Influenza viruses survive by mutating constantly and if the bird flu virus mutates to an airborne human to human virus the consequences could be catastrophic. Due to the hazardous effects of this fatal disease it became a challenge for the pharmacologists and scientists to find a solution to this problem and that came with TAMIFLU. Right now, the primary treatment option is the flu drug oseltamivir (Tamiflu), a neuraminidase inhibitor that works by preventing the virus from escaping its host cell. It's not clear how effective Tamiflu will ultimately prove against (A) H5N 1. So, now no more fears regarding this disease. Buy chap, online tamiflu and get rid of all the troubles and fears. So today again the human race is prepared to fight against this precarious disease and maintain the continuity of human race.
