Watch Out for Birds

Just when you thought all the worst stuff had already happened, word comes from the West Coast that a pet store in Washington sold diseased birds that can spread psittacosis to humans. Psittacosis is usually mild in people, but it can become serious if it remains untreated.

The birds were sold by twenty PetSmart stores in the state, possibly starting as long ago as October.
