These viruses can also enter through the mucus membrane of your eyes and nose and cause serious infection within less time, so wear masks while handling the birds.
If there are any dead animals in your poultry, ten bury them immediately. These viruses can easily spread through dead animals.
If you notice any symptoms of swine flu in the birds in your poultry, isolate them from other birds in the farm.
Vaccinate all the remaining birds in your farm after isolating the infected birds.
Taking a warm dip facial is recommended to eliminate the infection causing virus, from the nasal openings, eyes and facial tissues.
Personal hygiene and hygiene for the birds in the poultry is very important to prevent the infection of virus.
Bird flu vaccine is highly recommended for such people.
Hygiene for others:

Hygiene is very important in preventing bird flu. Wash your hands before touching any food items.
Wash utensils and meat properly before you start cooking. Especially, while cooking chicken, ck and turkey. Wash them in warm water.
Do not eat half-cooked food. If you are served undercooked meat in restaurants, ask for replacement. Make sure that you cook them until the juices run clear and the internal temperature of the meat reaches up to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Eating raw eggs can also be dangerous, so avoid eating them. Boil the eggs properly before eating them.
Egg shells may also transmit the infection to you as they may contact with the feces of the birds, so limit contact with the egg shells. When you bring eggs to your house, wash them properly.
Wash the cutting boards, knives, kitchen surfaces and utensils properly before using them for cooking other eatables. If you don’t follow this practice you may cross contaminate the food.
