I see. Of course, fowl
pest is usually transmitted through blood and faecal matter, so generally you shouldn't be
in any immediate danger unless you're in the habit of eating chicken shit. Recent
reports claim that certain new strains of the disease have adapted to being carried by
public transport - usually favouring taxis over buses and trains. However, this is
really only hearsay.
Obviously,
this is all academic since fowl pest can't actually affect humans. So you've really
got nothing to worry about - unless you're descended from chickens, that is, ha ha!
...There isn't any chicken in the family, is there?
