Romania was one of the first countries in Europe to confirm cases of avian flu. According to a doctor who recently accompanied our group to Romania, "There’s 100 other things you could get that you should be more worried about than avian influenza." His advice: handwashing, stay away from chickens (not always easy in Romania), and don’t play with dead birds(!). I don’t think Romanians were much bothered by all the fuss—we were served runny-yolk eggs at least twice.
