Daily prevention

1. Strengthen physical exercise, pay attention to nutritional supplements, and ensure adequate sleep and rest to enhance resistance.

2. Minimize unnecessary contact with poultry, especially with sick or dead poultry. Wash your hands frequently, stay away from poultry secretions, and be sure to clean your hands thoroughly with disinfectant and water after contact with poultry or bird feces.

3. Try to buy quarantined poultry products from regular poultry sales outlets.

4. Develop good personal hygiene habits, improve indoor air circulation, and open windows for half an hour 1 to 2 times a day. Poultry should be cooked thoroughly before eating. When eating eggs, the eggshells should be washed with running water and should be cooked and heated thoroughly. Do not eat raw or half-cooked eggs. Get enough sleep and rest, eat a balanced diet, and make sure to consume more foods rich in vitamin C and other immunity-boosting foods. Do physical exercise regularly to increase the body's resistance to viruses.

5. Schools and kindergartens should take measures to teach children not to feed wild pigeons or other birds, and to wash their hands thoroughly immediately after contact with birds or bird droppings. When traveling, try to avoid contact with birds, for example, do not go to aviaries, farms, markets or parks; do not feed white pigeons or wild birds, etc.

6. Do not underestimate a severe cold. The symptoms of avian influenza are similar to those of other influenza, such as fever, headache, cough and sore throat. In some cases, it can cause complications and lead to the patient's death. Therefore, if you have respiratory symptoms such as fever, headache, nasal congestion, cough, and general discomfort, you should wear a mask and go to the hospital as soon as possible. Be sure to tell the doctor whether you have been to an avian influenza epidemic area before the onset of the disease, whether you have had contact with sick poultry, etc., and receive treatment and medication under the doctor's guidance.

7. Disinfect the environment regularly to prevent infection in the air or environment. The disinfection methods are as follows: (1) Fumigation method: Put the active disinfectant concentrate in a plastic container and place it in the room or office, one for every 15 square meters. Just keep the air circulating when people are staying or working. The effect is better if it is left in a closed container for more than half an hour when no one is around. (2) Flushing method: Dilute the active disinfectant and use it to flush floors, pet or livestock nests, wipe areas where pets or livestock have stayed, or flush plastic tableware. (3) Spray method: dilute the disinfectant with water, put it in a plastic spray bottle and spray it on the area that needs to be disinfected.

Food Prevention

It should be noted that since certain food preventions can only increase the probability of successfully preventing disease by increasing the body's nutritional content, and cannot effectively prevent a specific disease, the so-called food preventions listed below have not been confirmed by clinical experiments and are subjective. People with allergies should consider them carefully.

1. Garlic: Garlic has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, can protect the liver, regulate blood sugar, protect the cardiovascular system, resist hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis, and resist platelet aggregation. Nutrition experts have found that garlic extract has anti-tumor effects and recommend eating 3-5 grams of raw garlic daily.

2. Aloe vera: Aloe vera, like golden fragrance, garlic, onion and wild lily, is a perennial herb of the Liliaceae family. It mainly grows in dry and hot areas. It has extremely strong vitality, can clear away heat and detoxify, relieve diarrhea, reduce inflammation and antibacterial effects, enhance immunity, and also protect the stomach and liver and skin and beauty.

3. Shiitake mushrooms: Improve the body's immune function. Shiitake mushroom polysaccharides can improve the phagocytic function of peritoneal macrophages, promote the production of T lymphocytes, and increase the killing activity of T lymphocytes;

4. Tomato: Rich in vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, organic acids and a small amount of protein. It promotes digestion, acts as a diuretic, and inhibits a variety of bacteria. At the same time, studies have shown that tomatoes contain carotenoids that can produce vitamin A, mainly α-carotene and β-carotene. If you consume tomato juice for a period of time, the lycopene in your body will increase significantly, and the immune function of T lymphocytes will be enhanced.

5. Fresh radish: It has immune effects because it is rich in interferon inducers.

6. Fresh royal jelly: contains royal jelly acid and antibacterial active substances, has strong bactericidal and antibacterial effects, and can effectively improve and enhance human immune function.
