Public health officials in Colorado on Wednesday announced an adult man had tested positive for avian flu after reporting mild symptoms, including conjunctivitis, or pink eye.
The man is an employee at a dairy farm who had exposure to infected cattle and recovered after antiviral treatment, officials said.
It was the fourth human case of bird flu reported in the U.S. since avian flu was confirmed in cows in March. The prior three people to test positive were also dairy farm workers who recovered.
The first two workers to contract the virus had mild pink eye. In the third case, the worker had mild respiratory symptoms.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the case in a statement and said the risk to the general public from bird flu remains low, although people with exposure to infected animals are at greater risk.

I’ve been following this for months; y’all really can’t stop shoveling animals products down your throat can you? ffs
Kind of like you’re trying to shovel veganism down people throats? We get it, you don’t eat meat.
Have a burger and maybe contract bird flu while you’re at it 🥴
Judging by their username, it’s apparently what they base their entire personality on.
You got me: I use this one username to base my entire personality on because that makes sense
Yes. Everyone here eats meat all the time, three meals a day. You’ve got us dead to rights.
In this economy?!
We’re admitting meat actually costs more than vegetables now?
“Y’all” was referring to anyone who’s still eating meat in any industrialized country that has access to animal-free options.
