Birdkeeping is becoming increasingly popular, but could it threaten
good health? This book discusses the evi- dence suggesting that
keeping pet birds is a strong risk factor for lung cancer. Its
relation to a number of other endpoints, including death before age
60 and spontaneous abortion, is also examined. In addition, the
book looks at the diseases that can be transmitted from birds to
man - a fairly unknown field in general medicine. For instance,
birds are a source of airborne particles that can cause allergic
reactions in humans. People who keep birds as pets tend to have a
higher incidence of shortness of breath, colds, sore throats and
other flu-like symptoms than those in households without birds. The
evidence presented in this book is the result of a ten-year general
practice survey. Some recommendations for future research are
given.
