Check Health Advisories When Traveling

Stop at visitors’ centers in national parks and forests for information about local animals.

Read CDC and World Health Organization websites prior to traveling overseas, especially to rural areas in developing countries.

Presently, avoid all contact with poultry (e.g., chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, turkeys, and quail) and wild birds in Southeast Asia to avoid contracting avian influenza (flu).
