Show Notes
A deadly bird flu strain has been ravaging animal populations in the US for three years, with the first human death reported in Louisiana this year. The virus, which has a long history but emerged as highly dangerous in the nineties, spreads easily between farms and wild birds. While most animal cases are fatal, human infections are rare but concerning. Recent cases include a Washington cat euthanized after eating possibly tainted pet food. The virus can spread through saliva, droppings, raw milk, or meat. To minimize risk, cook poultry and eggs thoroughly, pasteurize milk, use protective gear around birds, and practice good hygiene.
