In late March, a farmworker in Texas was diagnosed in what officials called the first known instance of a person catching this version of bird flu from a mammal.
Another Michigan dairy worker has been diagnosed with bird flu, the third human case associated with an outbreak in U.S. dairy cows, health officials said Thursday.
The risk to the public remains low, although farmworkers exposed to infected animals are at higher risk, health officials said. The Michigan cases occurred on different farms and there are no signs of spread among people, officials said. Last week, Michigan officials announced the first case there. That worker caught bird flu developed eye symptoms after “a direct splash of infected milk to the eye,” Michigan health officials said in a statement.
There are 100,000 to 150,000 workers on U.S. dairy farms, the United Farm Workers of America estimates.
