The U.S. CDC confirmed a second human case of bird flu in a dairy farm worker in Michigan, with mild eye symptoms. The patient fully recovered. The first case was reported in Texas in March. Human-to-human transmission is still not confirmed, and the infection risk to the public is low. The CDC has tested close to 40 people but expects more cases due to widespread infection in cows. Precautions should be taken by those exposed to infected animals. Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian highlighted the importance of recommended precautions for individuals with exposure to infected animals. Early detection and monitoring of new illnesses are essential in public health.
