"Health Experts Warn Against Sunny Side Up Eggs Due to Bird Flu Concerns"

Health experts are advising Americans to avoid eggs with runny yolks due to increasing cases of bird flu in the US, which can contaminate eggs laid by infected chickens. Cooking eggs thoroughly can kill off any lingering virus fragments, and using pasteurized eggs or ensuring eggs are fully cooked can reduce the risk of exposure to the virus. Outbreaks of bird flu in poultry could lead to increased egg prices and disruptions in poultry product supply chains, impacting consumers. Additionally, there are concerns about the virus spreading to cattle, with 12 farms across six states reporting H5N1 infections in cows. The World Health Organization estimates the fatality rate for H5N1 at 52 percent.
