Bird Flu Found in Cows Raises Questions

A new bird flu strain, H5N1, has jumped from birds to dairy cows—marking the first time this virus has been found in cattle. While public risk remains low, the virus is spreading among herds, causing symptoms like reduced milk production. Experts are racing to understand transmission and impact on food safety, while farmers ramp up biosecurity. A few mild human cases linked to animal contact confirm the virus isn’t easily spreading between people. Good news: pasteurization kills the virus, making commercial milk safe. But health officials urge caution—avoid raw milk. The investigation is critical to protecting both animals and humans. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
