Psittacosis, also known as "bird plague", is a very rare disease. According to statistics, the number of new cases of parrot fever in the United States in a year is about 50. In our country, cases of psittacosis are also sporadic.
Chlamydia psittaci is not only found in birds, but also hosts poultry animals such as chickens and ducks, and is mainly transmitted through bird droppings and poultry excrement.
Doctors remind that we should try to avoid contact with live poultry, and do not purchase, cook, or eat poultry of unknown origin or sick and dead poultry. When cooking poultry, wear a mask, gloves, and wash your hands with soap and water when exposed.
