A Michigan farmworker has been diagnosed with bird flu, state health officials announced in a statement Wednesday, marking the second human case associated with the current outbreak in U.S. dairy cows. The latest patient, who had been in contact with cows presumed to be infected, had mild symptoms of an eye infection, according to a statement shared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.'The risk to the public remains low,' Michigan health officials said.
The detection of the virus in U.S. livestock earlier this year — which has now been confirmed in 51 dairy herds in nine states, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department — has also raised questions about food safety, especially around milk. Testing confirms pasteurization is working to kill the virus, and the Food and Drug Administration says the commercial milk supply is safe. Health officials strongly advise against drinking raw milk, despite influencers promoting it on social media.
