Yes but... Just to play the devils advocate here...
Bird flu - it's an air-borne thing right? Droplet transmission. Not anal/fecal transmission or whatever the technical term for that one is.
Seems to me that this procedure as described will theoretically prevent me from passing Hepatitis A from myself to others (although I don't have it). It'll do little to protect me from bird flu.
Having said that.. yeah. Please wash your hands after sneezing you dirty people. I'm disease free. Don't know about you.
