Canadian who died from H5N1 flu may have caught it in illegal bird market.

Pigeon Patrol says that this is No joking matter!! Chinese researchers are suggesting Canada’s first H5N1 flu patient may have

Pigeon Patrol Bird Flu

Understand it!!!

contracted the bird flu virus passing through or near an illegal live bird market in Beijing.

And Canadian scientists have published a report on the full genetic sequence of virus taken from the Alberta woman, who died in early January after returning from a three-week trip to her native China.

 

The source of the woman’s infection has been a mystery; she spent her entire trip in Beijing, where H5N1 reportedly hasn’t been discovered for some time, and her travelling companion said she did not have contact with live birds while there.

 

But scientists from Beijing’s Centre for Disease Prevention and Control are hypothesizing that illegal live bird markets may have been the source of the woman’s infection.

 

Testing of the area around the market stall where the woman bought the duck revealed the presence of H5N1 viruses that were closely related to the ones that infected her.

 

As well, they note that several human infections with the newer H7N9 bird flu virus have been reported in Beijing.

 

The scientists suggest the illegal trade in live poultry in Beijing may pose a high risk of human infection with bird flu viruses for people living in the city.

While she had the respiratory infection that is characteristic of influenza infection, she also had evidence of meningoencephalitis, infection in the brain.

Pigeons eat at Burger King

Pigeons eat at Burger King

 

Pigeon Patrol Burger
Pigeon Patrol ran across this funny story!
JANICE McGill tells of ‘disgusting’ experience at burger joint in Glasgow’s Queen Street.
A RETIRED nurse told yesterday how she was left in a flap – after dining with a pair of pigeons in a Burger King.                               Janice McGill, 52, was enjoying a day out in Glasgow with her cousin last week when they decided to eat in the Queen Street outlet. Janice, from Irvine, said: “There were trays and food all over the place. It was disgusting. There were two pigeons walking about on the tables and the floor, rummaging through the food wrappers.”
A Burger King spokesman said: “We take this incident extremely seriously as customer experience and satisfaction are of paramount importance to Burger King.”
Pigeon Patrol could have helped this store by supplying them with the Ultra-Flex bird or pigeon spikes or the best Ultrasonic sound unit on the market today. TubeSonic.
Can Ultrasonic sound kill you?

Can Ultrasonic sound kill you?

Pigeon Patrol UltrasonicPigeon Patrol Products and Services wonder if Ultrasonic sound can kill you? The short answer is “yes”.

The Space Shuttle’s Mobile Launch Platform used to dump 300,000 gallons of water onto the platform during launch, to absorb the intense acoustic energy that would otherwise damage the Shuttle. Giant air horns, using nitrogen gas to produce sounds as loud as 154 decibels.

The question is, is 154 decibels enough to kill you? In all honesty, probably not — unless, perhaps, you were stuck with your head inside the horn for a prolonged period. 150 decibels is usually considered enough to burst your eardrums, but the threshold for death is usually pegged at around 185-200 dB. A passenger car driving by at 25 feet is about 60 dB, being next to a jackhammer or lawn mower is around 100 dB, a nearby chainsaw is 120 dB. Generally, 150 dB (eardrum rupture) is only achieved if you stand really close to a jet aircraft during take-off or you’re near an explosive blast.

The general consensus is that a loud enough sound could cause an air embolism in your lungs, which then travels to your heart and kills you. Alternatively, your lungs might simply burst from the increased air pressure.

High-intensity ultrasonic sound (generally anything above 20KHz) can cause physical damage. Some very low frequencies (infrasound) can apparently cause your eyeballs to vibrate, making it very hard to see.

Pest Control called 21 times?!

Pest Control called 21 times?!

pigeon patrolThe University of Bolton is one of the biggest buildings in the city centre area. Pest control has been called 21 times for mice, ants, and pigeons.  Complaints have been made but no effective method has been proven to keep the pests away.

Last year, The Bolton News revealed pest control workers had been called out to the Royal Bolton Hospital 17 times in 2009, 20 times in 2010, 20 times in 2011 and 31 times in 2012.

The use of Pigeon Patrol’s Bird Netting or Ultra-Flex Bird Spikes could have easily dealt with these pest problems and reduced the amount of calls the pest control workers had to address.
