Bird Flu Is Hitting US Dairy Farms Hard

Did you know bird flu isn’t just for the birds anymore? H5N1 has jumped to US dairy farms, infecting cattle in all 50 states and even a handful of people—mostly those working directly with cows or raw milk. The virus has mutated to spread more easily among mammals, but it’s not passing from person to person yet. Health officials are on it with targeted precautions, but if you’re not a farm worker, your risk is super low. Just skip the raw milk! #BirdFlu #H5N1 #PublicHealth #DairyFarms #HealthNews #Health
