Here Ella Gartell-Bishop takes part in a ' Cow Cuddling ' experience with a small herd of retired dairy cows on Dumble Farm in England.
Well, like what cows may be thinking when you embrace them, the current situation is a bit complicated. As of May 2, nine states have reported bird flu outbreaks among a total of 36 dairy herds,. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has detected fragments of bird flu virus in some samples of pasteurized milk. This doesn’t mean that the milk supply is unsafe since these fragments haven’t been enough to infect anyone drinking milk.
At the same time, the HPAI A virus has not yet been deemed a threat to humans—with an emphasis on the words “not yet.” So far, there’s been only two confirmed human cases of HPAI A virus infections in the U.S. The first was in. This more recent case involved a person with exposure to dairy cattle. The person’s only reported symptom was eye redness, which would be consistent with some form of conjunctivitis.
Nevertheless, the CDC has been monitoring over a hundred people who have been exposed to this bird flu virus. While the virus doesn’t seem to pose an immediate threat to humans, there is always the possibility that the virus could mutate to the point that it could more readily jump from birds or cattle to humans and cause more serious illness.
