There is a new strain of bird flu in cows in Nevada. The Department of Agriculture found it in dairy cattle for the first time. The strain is called D1.1 and was previously in North American birds. The USDA did not say how many cows were infected. Another strain, B3.13, has affected over 950 herds in 16 states. The D1.1 strain has killed one person in Louisiana and a child in Canada. Even though this flu is in cows, it hasn't affected milk for people. Pasteurized milk is safe because heating it kills the virus. But it's still important to be cautious with raw milk. We don't know if cows infected with B3.13 will be immune to D1.1. This new strain raises questions about other livestock and symptoms to look for. The CDC has been tracking bird flu in cattle and found over 900 dairy herds affected. Symptoms of the bird flu in humans can range from mild to severe. It's important to get tested if you think you have it. Stay safe and follow guidelines to protect yourself and others. In conclusion, there is a new strain of bird flu in cows, but it hasn't affected our milk. It's important to stay informed and follow safety measures to stay healthy. Let's take care of ourselves and each other.
