What precautions can hunters take to reduce the risk for infection when hunting birds in the United States?
Hunters should follow routine precautions when handling game, including wild birds. The National Wildlife Health Center recommends that hunters: • Do not handle or eat sick game. • Wear rubber or disposable latex gloves while handling and cleaning game, wash hands with soap and water (or with alcohol-based hand products if the hands are not visibly soiled), and thoroughly clean knives, equipment and surfaces that come in contact with game. • Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling animals. • Cook all game thoroughly.
