Bird flu is not easily transmitted through the air between humans. It is primarily spread through contact with infected birds or contaminated surfaces. In certain settings, rare, limited exposure through the air can occur, but human-to-human transmission is extremely rare. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, shortness of breath, and in some cases, conjunctivitis or diarrhea. Severe cases can lead to pneumonia, respiratory distress, or AD.
