Serious question, does consuming a virus give a similar viral load as inhaling an equal amount?
I'm no expert, but in general (for these bird flus) the transmission by airborne droplet is what gets you, so the amount in a speck of sneeze is enough.
I imagine drinking a pint of what amounts to a room temp liquid culture of virus is incredibly bad for you.
