After covid, the series of new diseases will continue all over the world.. New types of diseases are emerging due to the invasion of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Now people of many European countries including Britain are suffering from parrot fever. The scientific name of this disease, which is known as parrot fever in common people's mouths, is psittacosis. The World Health Organization has said that this disease should be taken seriously. The disease has already spread to many countries on the European continent. It is reported that five people have died of this infection so far. It is known that this infection came to light in 2023.

What is parrot fever?
As the name suggests, it is a bird-borne disease. Not limited to just parrots. Experts say the infection can also be spread by other birds, including many species of migratory birds, wild birds, and chickens in poultry farms.

– Pain in the muscles
– Vomiting, diarrhoea
– Physical weakness
– Dry cough
– Headaches are more bothersome.
Symptoms usually appear within 5 to 14 days of infection. Some people have trouble breathing. It is said that there may be chest pain.
Disease infection
It is said that this infection spreads very quickly to those who are close to the birds. Infected birds spread the disease to other birds and to humans. The infection can also spread through dust particles and water droplets, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The infection spreads when birds bite humans. As the symptoms worsen, pneumonia and inflammation of the heart blood vessels may occur. They also face hepatitis and neurological problems. Experts warn that if medical help is not received at the right time, there is a possibility of death. 🩺
