As bird flu cases increase in the U.S., testing access remains limited, with new tests only recommended for those closely interacting with animals. Recent reports reveal a second person in Missouri with H5N1, but without a clear animal contact, highlighting potential gaps in our containment efforts.
Amidst this, troubling images shared by Our Honor veterinarian Dr. Crystal Heath show dead cows marked with Xs at a facility in California, raising serious concerns about biosecurity and the treatment of sick animals.
While commercial labs are stepping up with prescription tests, public health officials stress that most flu cases don't require H5N1 testing.
As wild bird migration continues, the risk of further spread grows. It is crucial for us to stay informed and vigilant.
