Stanford doctor discusses avian flu outbreaks

The FDA announced that traces of the bird flu are showing in samples of grocery store milk. Tests by the FDA show that pasteurization does work to kill off bird flu in milk, but retail sales of raw milk are legal in California. CBS News Bay Area anchor Nicole Zaloumis asks Dr. Abraar Karan from Stanford Health Care if we should stay away from consumption of raw milk, and if the virus is evolving to infect other animals and potentially people

Dr. Barb Petersen, Texas veterinarian first reported bird flu in cows in early March. " At the same time, on almost every farm with sick animals, Petersen said she saw sick people, too. “We were actively checking on humans,” Petersen said. “I had people who never missed work, miss work.” Petersen said some workers had symptoms consistent with flu: fever and body aches, stuffy nose or congestion. Some had conjunctivitis, the eye inflammation detected in the Texas dairy worker diagnosed with bird flu. Dr. Gregory Gray, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, has been taking samples from livestock and people on two Texas farms. On farms with confirmed cattle infections, there have also been reports of mild illnesses among the workers, he said."

It's not a matter of if, just a matter of when. Largely thanks to the breeding grounds that is the animal husbandry industry.
