KY Public Health issues guidelines for safer poultry consumption Simple steps can help prevent salmonella from poultry. Guidelines issued especially because of increased popularity of backyard chickens By Beth Fisher and Gwenda Bond News from the Kentucky Department of Public Health FRANKFORT, KY (March 13, 2013) - The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) is reminding Kentuckians that salmonella infections don't just come from contaminated food. Infections can come from contact with animals. Many salmonella infections occur in people who have contact with certain types of animals, especially poultry. "Backyard poultry flocks are very popular today in Kentucky so it's worth the time to review a few good safety rules when handling live birds," says Dr. John Poe, state public health veterinarian. "Washing hands thoroughly, cleaning equipment used with live poultry and making sure live poultry remain outside are measures everyone should take to prevent illness. As we move into chick season this spring, it's particularly important to observe these guidelines." In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported eight outbreaks involving contact with live poultry that sickened more than 450 nationwide, more than recorded in any year previously. It also reported the largest outbreak of human salmonella infections linked to backyard flocks in a single year. Each year DPH receives reports of salmonella infections as a result of exposure to live poultry, and Kentucky had 13 human cases related to two of the 2012 multi-state outbreaks recorded by CDC. Live poultry may have salmonella germs in their droppings and on their feathers, feet and beaks even when they appear healthy and clean. While salmonella doesn't typically make birds sick, salmonella germs can cause a diarrheal illness in people that ranges from mild to severe and in some cases can even be life threatening. Infants, seniors and those with weakened immune systems are more likely than others to develop severe illness. DPH recommends following these simple steps to prevent illness:
