And it has not yet been found in birds in the
United States.

Right now• Only birds and people who have
very close contact with birds can get the bird flu.
![Page 6: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Does it mean that my parakeet can give it to
me?
• As long as you keep your pet and its food and water inside, away from a place where outside birds may get it, it will not give it to you.

We need to remember:
• This isn’t the same flu that people normally get.
![Page 9: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Who is at Risk?• Right now you are not at risk
unless you are a – Bird– Or a bird farmer– Or someone who handles chickens
and other birds.

Why is everyone so concerned
![Page 12: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
There is very good reason.
• The Virus appears to be spreading from birds in Asia to birds in other countries.
• Unlike the regular flu there is no vaccine ( medicine) yet to protect people from catching it.
![Page 13: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If possible the virus could change ( mutate)
and become a kind of germ that could be easily passed from one person
to another
![Page 14: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Without a vaccine ( medicine) a lot of
people around the world could get sick.

WHAT IS BEING DONE?
![Page 17: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WORKING TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM THE Bird Flu.
• About 150 Million birds have been destroyed in countries where the infection has struck.
![Page 18: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Most Importantly
• Medical Researchers are working on a vaccine that would protect people from catching bird flu, even if it started to spread to other people.

Our hands carry Germs.
Do you know what Germs are?

“ What tiny things did you think of?”
• Germs are the smallest organisms.
• They can only be seen through a microscope.
![Page 26: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Where can you Find Germs?
• Floors• Counters• Toys• Hands

What are other ways that
spreading germs can be stopped?
![Page 31: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
To Stop Germs:• Cover your
sneeze and cough with a tissue.
• Wash your hands• Do not touch
used tissues
• Keep objects away from and out of your mouth
• Take a bath everyday
• Wear clean clothes• Do not use
someone else’s brush or comb

Think about your skin;• It plays a very important part in
keeping us healthy. Our skin protects our body in the same way that a plastic sandwich bag keeps germs and dirt away from our lunch.
![Page 33: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Sometimes, if our skin Sometimes, if our skin gets a ‘hole’ in it, like a cut gets a ‘hole’ in it, like a cut or scrape, germs can get or scrape, germs can get past the skin and into our past the skin and into our body and blood and make body and blood and make

When we get sick, our body uses a part of our
blood , cells called ‘white blood cells’ to fight off the
germs.
![Page 35: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Even though our body can most often fight off the germs, it is always best to avoid getting sick in the first place.
![Page 36: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
To help us stay healthy, what do you think we can do to help protect our skin?
![Page 37: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
To protect our skin we could:
• Keep our skin clean by taking a bath and using soap each day.
• Wash our clothes and put on clean clothes.
• If we cut our skin, wash the cut with soap and water, and put a clean bandage over it. This helps the broken skin keep out the germs.
![Page 38: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The number 1 way to protect our selves from germs is Hand washing!
![Page 39: Are The Birds Sic Knoanimation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481b0cfb4af9f820d8b45aa/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The 3 steps to proper hand washing:
1) Wet your hands with water.2) Use a squirt of soap and scrub
the front and back of your hands, and between your fingers for 10 seconds. ( sing “Happy Birthday”).
3) Rinse and dry your hands.
