symptoms of bird-flu?
112976
In humans, avian flu viruses cause similar symptoms to other types of flu. [21] These include fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, conjunctivitis and, in severe cases, severe breathing problems and pneumonia that may be fatal. The severity of the infection will depend to a large part on the state of the infected person's immune system and if the victim has been exposed to the strain before, and is therefore partially immune. In one case, a boy with H5N1 experienced diarrhea followed rapidly by a coma without developing respiratory or flu-like symptoms, suggesting non-standard symptoms.

Feeling tired all the time.  Mood swings, crying for no reason.  Sometimes your mind might wander off, lack of concentration.  Breasts feel tight, cold weather makes the nipples sore.  Sometimes even having to urinate often.\nAlso depends of the woman.  My two pregnancies were different.  I didn't even know I was pregnant the first time around.  The second time I had only a few symptoms.  My sister-in-law threw up her first three months.  She thought that she had the flu for three weeks.  It dawned on her that she might have something else going on than the flu.  Second pregnancy that time.

From your description I'd say it was run over. So no bird flu. \nBut it might be a good precaution if you just generally stayed away from all and sundry dead animals. Just to get in the habit. \nBy the way, so far people have only picked up bird flu from birds, not from any other animal despite the fact that other animals (e.g. cats) can get it. Don't worry too much.

Avian flu (also "bird flu", "avian influenza", etc), technically means "flu from Influenza A viruses that have adapted to birds", but is sometimes mistakenly used to refer to flu from any Influenza A viruses (rather than ones adapted to birds, e.g. Dog flu, Horse flu, Human flu, Swine flu), or (also incorrectly) even the virus itself. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]\n\nThe only known "avian flu" viruses are Influenzavirus A. All subtypes (but not all strains of all subtypes) of Influenza A are adapted to birds, which is why for many purposes avian flu virus is the Influenza A virus (note that the "A" does not stand for "avian").\n\nAs of 2006, "avian flu" is being commonly used to refer to a particular subtype of Influenza A, H5N1, which is currently the world's major flu pandemic threat.\n\nA few examples of correct and incorrect usage of the term "avian flu" itself follow. For more scientific information about avian flu, see the subtype links towards the bottom of this article.\nIn technical contexts, correct usage of terms is necessary because precise distinctions are the essence of the communication.\n\n"Avian influenza strains are those well adapted to birds" [1] \n"An outbreak of influenza A (H5N1), also known as 'avian flu' or 'bird flu,' has been reported in several countries throughout Asia." [8] \n"Avian influenza virus usually refers to influenza A viruses found chiefly in birds, but infections can occur in humans."[9] \n"Of the few avian influenza viruses that have crossed the species barrier to infect humans, H5N1 has caused the largest number of cases of severe disease and death in humans. Unlike normal seasonal influenza, where infection causes only mild respiratory symptoms in most people, the disease caused by H5N1 follows an unusually aggressive clinical course, with rapid deterioration and high fatality." Seasonal influenza is human flu.[10] \n"avian influenza HA bind alpha 2-3 sialic acid receptors while human influenza HA bind alpha 2-6 sialic acid receptors. Swine influenza viruses have the ability to bind both types of sialic acid receptors." [11] \nSometimes a virus contains both avian adapted genes and human adapted genes. Both the H2N2 and H3N2 pandemic strains contained avian flu virus RNA segments. "While the pandemic human influenza viruses of 1957 (H2N2) and 1968 (H3N2) clearly arose through reassortment between human and avian viruses, the influenza virus causing the 'Spanish flu' in 1918 appears to be entirely derived from an avian source (Belshe 2005)." [2] \n[edit]\nIllustrative examples of imprecise usage\nIn nontechnical contexts, imprecise usage of terms is typical when discussing complex things.\n\n"A 1,000 square mile quarantine zone to combat an outbreak of bird flu was lifted in Scotland today - despite the spread of a similar disease south of the border." Here "bird flu" is used to mean "Asian lineage HPAI A(H5N1) flu" (which is a bird flu) and contrasted with flu from an avian adapted strain of H7N3 (which is also a bird flu).

Look!  First thing is first the only people who have gotten the bird flu live with birds lots of birds I would not worry about it. It wastes time and energy and why dwell on it when it is not here yet?

A cold or a virus can give you the same symptoms.  The only way to know for sure if you have influenza is to go to your doctor.  He will take a swab (it will hurt, he is going about four inches into your nose with a Q-tip) and send it off to the lab.  If it is the flu, the treatment is pretty much the same as a cold unless you get worse or are in a high risk group.

The current outbreak of bird flu is different from earlier ones in that officials have been unable to contain its spread. An outbreak in 1997 in Hong Kong was the first time the virus had spread to people, but it was much more quickly contained. A total of 18 people were hospitalized with six reported deaths. About 1.5 million chickens were killed in an effort to remove the source of the virus. \n\nUnlike the 1997 scare, this outbreak has spread more rapidly to other countries, increasing its exposure to people in varied locations and raising the likelihood that the strain will combine with a human influenza virus.\n\nConfirmed instances of avian influenza viruses infecting humans since 1997 include:\n\n1997: In Hong Kong, avian influenza A (H5N1) infected both chickens and humans. This was the first time an avian influenza virus had ever been found to transmit directly from birds to humans. During this outbreak, 18 people were hospitalized and 6 of them died. To control the outbreak, authorities killed about 1.5 million chickens to remove the source of the virus. Scientists determined that the virus spread primarily from birds to humans, though rare person-to-person infection was noted.\n\n\n\n1999: In Hong Kong, cases of avian influenza A H9N2 were confirmed in 2 children. Both patients recovered, and no additional cases were confirmed. The evidence suggested that poultry was the source of infection and the main mode of transmission was from bird to human. However, the possibility of person-to-person transmission remained open. Several additional human H9N2 infections were reported from mainland China in 1998-99.\n\n\n2003: Two cases of avian influenza A (H5N1) infection occurred among members of a Hong Kong family that had traveled to China. One person recovered, the other died. How or where these 2 family members were infected was not determined. Another family member died of a respiratory illness in China, but no testing was done. No additional cases were reported.\n\n\n\n2003: Avian influenza A (H7N7) infections among poultry workers and their families were confirmed in the Netherlands during an outbreak of avian flu among poultry. More than 80 cases of H7N7 illness were reported (the symptoms were mostly confined to eye infections, with some respiratory symptoms), and 1 patient died (in a veterinarian who had visited an affected farm). There was evidence of some human-to-human transmission.\n\n\n\n2003: H9N2 infection was confirmed in a child in Hong Kong. The child was hospitalized but recovered

What are the symptoms of salmonella poisoning?\n\n    * Diarrhoea or constipation.\n\n    * Headaches.\n\n    * Stomach cramps.\n\n    * Nausea and vomiting.\n\n    * Fever.\n\n    * Possibly, blood in the faeces.\n\nIn the case of less serious infections there are fewer symptoms - usually only diarrhoea two or three times a day for a couple of days. Most mild types of salmonella infection clear up in four to seven days without requiring any treatment other than rest and plenty of liquid.\n\nA more severe infection may cause excessive diarrhoea, stomach cramps and general health problems. In such cases, treatment with antibiotics may be necessary and a doctor should be consulted.

be more specific, it could be a number of things, food poisoning, stomach flu, migraines, go to webmd and check your symptoms.
