H5N1 Avian Influenza
WHO official site says so on H5N1 avian influenza popularly known as "Bird Flu"
"All available evidence indicates that the virus does not spread easily from poultry to humans. To date, very few cases have been detected in poultry workers, cullers, or veterinarians. Almost all cases have been linked to close contact to diseased household flocks, often during slaughtering, defeathering, butchering, and preparation of poultry for consumption.
No cases have been linked to the consumption of properly cooked poultry meat or eggs, even in households where disease was known to be present in flocks."

I am glad that now I can eat the chicken curry you cook. (After 7-8 years?).
