In Australia, neighborhoods are still close, especially for people living in House, who often give each other some gifts to show friendship.
But if your neighbor keeps chickens at home, be careful recently!
Because these chickens could kill you every minute!
It's not that these chickens will burst into your house and beat you up.
He was beaten to death by a chicken.
That is to say, the eggs under these chickens may spread some germs ~
If you eat it, you may get sick or even die!
According to CSIRO's Director of Health and Biosafety, these feathered poultry may turn into potential hazards in the near future.
Because these fowls are capable of
Spread some zoonotic diseases ~
Australia's government, on the other hand, has little control over domestic poultry.
What is a zoonotic disease?
Such as Ebola is a very typical example, such as in bats in the virus, can also be transmitted to people, resulting in death.
Another virus, Hendra, also originated in Australia, where four people died of the virus.
So here's the problem ~
What do these viruses have to do with chickens? What does the neighbor's chicken have to do with us?
Don't worry, just listen to the impression to give you a slow way ~
As the weather got hotter recently, a heat wave swept through Queensland, killing a large number of bats.
Bats have been falling from the air as a result of heat stress since temperatures exceeded 40 degrees Celsius for the first time in Australia.
5500 bats died in the yard of an Australian mother, Philippa, after a heat wave, the Daily Mail reported.
The dense, all fell from the sky.
Dead bat!
She looked at the yard covered with rotting bats and said:
"it's a horror movie!"
Many residents were forced to find temporary shelter, and Australia's mother Philippa was one of the unlucky.
Around the smell of rotten smell, 5500 corpses accompanied, walk in the yard, all fearful.
The Australian mother had to leave her home and stayed in a hotel with her children for five nights.
Others have also expressed concern about the situation.
She told the Daily Mail that the entire bat community was either hanging from a tree or dead on the ground.
"there are at least 60 to 80 dead bats in a dozen trash bins outside my house," she said. And then you see 20 to 25 dead bats coming from behind in each bag. "
As a large number of bats fell on the road and died, decomposing in the clean-up ruins, clean-up work was hampered.
The local volunteer group persevered, with three local rangers helping Ms Eagleton remove more than 2000 bats from her backyard for three consecutive days.
With the arrival of summer, hot waves have killed animals such as bats in large numbers.
Many bats fall to the ground, and many Australians have found them in their yard.
And not just said, whether it's their faeces or corpses, bats carry a lot of germs.
Unfortunately, if your neighbor has chickens in the yard
Very likely to eat food with germs ~
When the eggs of the infected chickens are laid, they are eggs containing germs.
If you eat these eggs unfortunately, you may be infected with viruses such as Hendra!
Four people have been killed as a result.
So it's not alarmist!
Although large-scale outbreaks of zoonotic disease in Australia have so far been rare, it is common in tropical areas such as Southeast Asia, where there is a high population density and domestic animals.
Diseases such as SARS and avian flu are far from Australia's major cities, but these risks persist because of the growth in international travel and trade.
Especially like Battle, which is becoming more and more urbanized.
In Australia, if you have a yard where you plan to keep a chicken, you don't have to report to anyone.
In general, the number of chickens raised at home is much lower than the number prescribed by the Australian government ~
So once the sick bat falls into the yard because of faeces or hot weather, domestic chickens are likely to get sick!
It also means that once a deadly infection breaks out, Australia's government will not be able to find the source.
In Australian chicken farms, there is generally strict hygiene and safety, such as protective clothing and disinfection procedures.
But home-grown chickens, children who often don't wash their hands, and eggs can all be deadly carriers of bacteria.
So the Australian government also issued a warning:
In the summer, once watch out for dead bats or faeces at home. If found, must pay attention to hygiene, and do not eat eggs, so as not to get infected with the virus!
So, if you find your neighbor raising chickens, the next time you send eggs, a euphemistic rejection will be fine.
