According to the National Office for the Prevention and Control of HPAI, highly pathogenic avian influenza virus can be transmitted through eggs.
The Ministry of Agriculture’s chief livestock clerk said that there is no danger of eating eggs without a disease. Eggs in the affected area may be infected with the virus. Therefore, we hope that the eggs are cooked or fried and eaten again.
1. Will chicken, duck, and goose be infected?
After the poultry has been cooked and cooked, the virus is less likely to spread. However, if infected poultry is cooked without food, the virus is likely to enter the body. If the virus enters the human body, if it survives, whether it passes through the digestive tract into the tissues of the human body and how the virus works in the human body, these mechanisms are still unclear. In this case, only poultry from the outbreak area will be blocked.
At present, China's quarantine departments have taken emergency precautionary measures and domestic cases have not yet occurred. Poultry in the formal market can basically be eaten with confidence. The key is to cook it thoroughly. If you eat poultry that has not been quarantined or comes from an outbreak area, you do not rule out the risk of infection.
2, wear down jackets, covered duck downs will be infected?
According to the person in charge of Wuhan Veterinary Sanitary Surveillance Authority, wearing down jackets, covering down duck quilts and related products is definitely not infectious of bird flu. Because down products are usually treated by many physical and chemical processes such as disinfection and high temperature, the survival of the virus is minimal, and it is impossible to cause harm to human health.
3, boil for ten minutes to eat at ease
Experts in public health and epidemiology said that after eggs are boiled for 5-10 minutes, they can completely inactivate the bird flu virus and eggs can be eaten safely.
Dr. Lu Hongzhou, Department of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital, pointed out that the bird flu virus has been confirmed to be able to spread vertically. However, after the eggs are processed at high temperatures, the bird flu virus can be completely inactivated.
Professor Yu Shunzhang of the School of Public Health at Fudan University said that eggs can be eaten safely when they are boiled for 5 to 10 minutes.
Prof. Yu Shunzhang suggested that from the perspective of safety precautions, boiled eggs and raw eggs should not be eaten as much as possible, and scrambled eggs and poached eggs should also be cooked thoroughly. When eating eggs, pay attention to the health of the outside of the shell. Egg shells may be contaminated, so when processing eggs, first clean the egg shells; when playing eggs, do not let the egg shells fall in; after processing eggs, thoroughly clean your hands.
