Experts fear more infections will allow the virus to mutate and become transmissible human-to-human.
The state of Michigan reported its first human case of H5N1, commonly called the bird flu, on Wednesday according to a press release from Michigan Health and Human Services. It’s just the third human case ever detected in the U.S. and the second of the current outbreak that has alarmed public health officials who are concerned about the potential for the virus to mutate.
And while the current nationwide outbreak is concerning, it’s not like health experts didn’t see this coming. When more bird flu cases started popping up in mammals in 2023, the World Health Organization took note, issuing a warning about the disease. State officials in Michigan have stressed they have the situation well monitored, and are keeping tabs as best they can with an evolving situation.
