Cause of ornithosis is a microbe, on whose nature and classification the experts are not agreed. Most regard it as a large virus. Parakeet lovers, like turkey raisers, apparently get it by breathing infected dust particles; processing plant workers get it from handling the viscera. Oregon has recorded no case of the rare human-to-human infection. Birds, like man, can be cured with aureomycin and Terramycin. (Before antibiotics, 20% of human cases ended in death...
