Bird flu has been spreading among mammals across the world since 2020, mostly in dogs, cats, skunks and bears. However earlier in 2024, the H5N1 strain was found in cattle in the U.S. and has been circulating in several states.
The cases earlier this year were all among dairy farm workers. The four new cases have been linked to poultry farm workers in Colorado.
The CDC has confirmed cases of the H5N1 virus in more than 150 dairy herds in 12 states. More than 30 commercial poultry flocks around the country have also been found to have some type of bird flu.
Health officials said the risk to the public is still low, and there have been no cases of person-to-person transmission. They said it is still safe to drink milk and eat poultry and eggs, just make sure they’re fully cooked first.
