On a business trip I had to go to Indonesia….I stayed there for 2 days. I had completely forgotten about Avian flu and for dinner I ate chicken there. Do you think I can contract avian flu in this way? I have read on http://www.drugdelivery.ca/bird-flu.aspx that on mere contact with the infected hen or within their surrounding one can get the disease. It has been already 1 week since I have returned…..I haven’t experienced any symptom of having bird flu. So, does this mean that I haven’t got the disease? Should I still do the avian flu test?
Avian flu
Scan down to transmission and eating poultry.

There is no evidence that eating properly cooking poultry or eggs can cause infection. ........quoted from article
