The CDC has reported a second case of H5N1 bird flu in the U.S., involving a 55-year-old Michigan dairy worker who contracted the virus through infected cattle. Both this case and a previous one in Texas resulted in conjunctivitis but no respiratory symptoms. Despite these cases, the CDC maintains that the risk to the general public remains low, emphasizing the importance of precautions for those exposed to infected animals. The USDA assures that commercial milk and meat supplies are safe.
