A second dairy-farm worker has been infected with highly-pathogenic avian influenza while working with infected dairy cows.


The first case was in Texas in April and the second is this week in Michigan.

As with the case in Texas, the Michigan worker’s symptoms were mild and limited to eyes and he has recovered.
