The US has reported its third human case of bird flu, linked to an outbreak in dairy cattle. A Michigan farm worker exhibited typical flu symptoms and was treated with antiviral medication. The CDC emphasized that the virus spread from cows to humans, not human-to-human, and the risk to the general public remains low. The worker was not wearing recommended protective equipment, highlighting the importance of PPE for those in close contact with dairy herds.
