A second human case of bird flu has been linked to the ongoing outbreak in cows on U.S. dairy farms, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday .
However, no human infections with H5N1 have yet been tied to consuming raw milk; the two human cases flagged so far affected dairy workers employed by farms with H5N1-infected cows. The first possible case of cow-to-human transmission, reported in April in Texas, involved an individual whose only symptom was eye redness. The second case, just identified in Michigan, also involved only eye-related symptoms.
The CDC is now analyzing the genetic makeup of the virus that infected the Michigan patient and will release those data soon. In the meantime, the CDC still considers the risk of bird flu spread to the general public to be low.
