Avian influenza, or bird flu, is a viral infection that affects birds but can sometimes spread to humans.

The U.S. now requires bird flu testing of milk supplies to ensure safety and prevent contamination.

Bird flu symptoms can range from fever to cough and muscle aches. Let’s not ignore the warning signs.

Flu testing involves analyzing samples to detect the virus and prevent outbreaks early.

An influenza test helps identify strains like influenza A, which often originates in birds.

If untreated, avian influenza can spread through poultry and potentially affect humans too.

Infected birds may show lethargy, coughing, or sudden death—it's critical to act fast.

Avoid direct contact with birds, cook poultry thoroughly, and stay informed about testing.
