Can you get sick if you eat an egg from a bird that has the bird flu?

Yes, consuming an egg from a bird infected with the bird flu can pose health risks, although the risk is generally low when eggs are properly cooked. The avian influenza virus can survive in raw or undercooked eggs, and if ingested, it could potentially lead to illness. However, thorough cooking of eggs typically kills the virus, making it safe to eat. It's always advisable to follow food safety guidelines, especially when handling poultry products.
