Virus Found In Turkeys Ahead Of Thanksgiving
Dr J W Irons of the Texas State Department of Health warned Thanksgiving turkey handlers and buyers to watch for parrot fever virus in birds. He said there is evidence barnyard birds may harbor the virus, which can infect humans and be fatal, though proper cooking destroys germs in meat. The virus is known in parrots and other animals and causes about 200 human cases yearly.
