New #BirdFlu variant found in #DairyCattle. Can #H5N1 be transmitted to humans? [Apparently, the answer is, "YES!"]
According to the the US Department of Agriculture, this is the first ever detection of this bird flu virus variant in dairy cattle.

"The variant of bird flu that killed a Louisiana resident has now been found in dairy cows. Until now, the human cases of bird flu traced to cattle have been mild, mostly #EyeInfections.
"But the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed that a strain previously found only in #WildBirds has turned up in dairy herds in #Nevada ‒ raising concerns that future human infections could be more serious.
"Bird flu has triggered a nationwide egg shortage and price hikes in recent months, as infected chickens had to be put to death. It has also coursed through dairy farms in 16 states since last March, according to the USDA, reducing milk production. More than 60 #farmworkers on both dairy and poultry farms have been infected since then, all of whom recovered.
"But one Louisiana resident died last month after contracting bird flu from a backyard flock. That person, who was older and chronically ill, but not otherwise identified, was infected with the D.1.1 variant now seen in the Nevada cows. A Canadian teenager hospitalized with bird flu in November was also infected with D.1.1.
"#D11 is common among the #starlings that migrate through #Nevada in the winter and might have carried the virus into the state, the Nevada Department of Agriculture said in a social media post.
"The USDA said it is working with the state department of agriculture to investigate the Nevada outbreak and limit its spread.
"Until last week, all bird flu in dairy herds had been identified as the B3.13 variant, which was believed to have come from wild birds in late 2023 or early 2024."

#EyeOintments sold nationwide recalled due to infection risk

February 26, 2024
"Multiple brands of lubricant eye ointments are being recalled due to a risk of infection after federal inspectors found unsterile conditions at the Indian plant where the products were manufactured.
"The recall by Brassica Pharma Pvt. in Thane, a city in the Indian state of Maharashtra, comes after a deadly outbreak last year of #EyeInfections linked to artificial tears made by another Indian firm.
"Sold nationwide by retailers including #CVS Health and #Walmart, the latest recall involves four products by brands #Equate, #CVSHealth and #AACEPharmaceuticals, according to the notice posted Monday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
"All have expiration dates starting April 2024 and running through September 2025. The recalled products include:
- Equate Lubricant Eye Ointment in a 3.5-gram tube, packaged in box with UPC code: 681131395298.
- Equate Style Lubricant Eye Ointment in a 3.5-gram tube in box with UPC code: 681131395304.
- CVS Health Lubricant Eye Ointment in a 3.5-gram tube in box with UPC code: 050428634141.
- #LubricantPM Ointment in a 3.5 gram tube, sold in box with UPC code: 371406124356.
"People should stop using the recalled eye ointments and can return them to the place of purchase. Those with questions can call 1-833-225-9564 or [email protected].
"#EzriCare artificial tears were among the brands recalled last year by #DelsamPharma of #ChennaiIndia, as health officials identified 81 people in 18 states as suffering from infections, with four #deaths and multiple cases of #VisionLoss reported.
"In January, the #FDA warned against copycat #EyeDrops because of the risk of infection."
