A Michigan dairy worker is the second human case in the U.S. linked to an outbreak of bird flu in dairy cows, with low public risk and a mild eye infection.
Since 2020, bird flu has spread among various animal species globally, including dogs, cats, skunks, bears, seals, and porpoises, prompting food safety concerns.
The virus has been confirmed in 51 dairy herds in nine states, but pasteurized products are deemed safe due to heat treatment killing the virus.
The new case marks the third confirmed instance of Type A H5N1 virus in the U.S., with no significant transmission to humans amidst increasing cow infections.
