Cat Euthanized Due to Bird Flu from Raw Food

A cat in San Francisco was euthanized after contracting bird flu from contaminated raw cat food containing H5N1, marking the first such case since spring. The FDA confirmed the presence of the virus in the food and the cat, with genetic analysis linking the cases to a common source. Despite multiple human bird flu cases in the U.S., there is little public oversight or tracking of animal cases now, amid controversial opinions on disease management from officials like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"Rising Teen Use of Delta-8 THC Raises Public Health Concerns"

A national survey found that over 11% of high school seniors have used delta-8 THC, a psychoactive compound derived from hemp and often marketed as "diet weed" or "weed lite." Concerns arise due to the lack of regulation and oversight, with products being sold as edibles or vapes in many states. Health officials warn of potential adverse effects, particularly among teens who may not understand dosing and timing, leading to over-ingestion and hospitalization. The FDA has issued a warning about the risks of delta-8 THC, and as of January 2023, it has been banned in 15 states and regulated in eight others.
