West Nile Virus The Johnson County Health Department is not testing or taking phone calls on dead birds. If you do have to dispose of a dead bird, never touch it with your bare hands—use gloves, newspaper or plastic bags and garbage bags, and throw the bird away in your regular trash. Be sure to thoroughly wash your hands afterward. If you would like more information, please visit the links below. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact the Disease Containment Program at (913) 826-1303.
