Second human case of bird flu confirmed in Michigan

The Michigan Health Department has confirmed an additional case of influenza A (H5) in a Michigan farmworker, who worked closely with influenza A (H5) positive cows.

This worker was employed at a different farm than the case announced last week.

This virus has been associated with the ongoing multistate outbreak.

The virus has been found raw milk of infected cows, but officials say pasteurized products sold in grocery stores are safe.
