• Dairy cows in Kansas and Texas have tested positive for bird flu, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Associated Press reports that while the virus is affecting cows in those states and in New Mexico, officials say there is no danger to the commercial milk supply because of production regulations and pasteurization, which kills viruses.
USDA officials think the cows caught the virus from wild birds.
They appear to have coldlike symptoms, but typically recover within 10 days.
