Bird Flu

Bird flu, or avian influenza, is a virus that is spreading through wild birds worldwide. It is causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows, and some human cases have been identified in people who have had close contact with infected dairy cows and poultry. In October 2024, CDPH identified the first cases of bird flu in humans from people working closely with infected dairy cattle.

While the current public health risk is low, CDPH is working with local, state and federal partners to monitor bird flu in farm animals and people who work closely with poultry and dairy cattle.

Transmission

People rarely get bird flu, but those who interact with infected animals, like dairy or poultry farm workers, are at higher risk. Human infections of bird flu can happen when enough virus gets into a person’s eyes, nose or mouth, or is inhaled.

Symptoms

People exposed to infected animals should monitor for the following symptoms for 10 days after their last exposure:

Trouble breathing
Cough
Sore throat
Fever
Runny or stuffy nose
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Muscle or body aches
Eye redness or discharge (conjunctivitis)
Fatigue
Headaches

If a person starts to feel sick, they should immediately isolate, notify their local public health department, and work with public health and health care providers to get timely testing and treatment.

Prevention

Avoid contact with infected animals: People should avoid direct contact with wild birds and other animals infected with or suspected to have bird flu. Wild birds can be infected with bird flu even if they don’t look sick.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) if you must work with infected animals: If you work with infected animals and must have direct/close contact, wear recommended PPE, such as: respirators (N95 masks), eye protection (face shields or safety goggles) and gloves.
Get the seasonal flu vaccine: CDPH recommends that all Californians — especially workers at risk for exposure to bird flu — receive a seasonal flu vaccine. Although the seasonal flu vaccine will not protect against bird flu, it can decrease the risk of being infected with both viruses at the same time and reduce the chance of severe illness from seasonal flu. For flu vaccine messaging specifically for farmworkers at higher risk of bird flu, go to Fight the Flu & COVID-19.
Only consume pasteurized dairy products: Do not touch or consume raw milk or raw milk products, especially from animals with confirmed or suspected bird flu infection. Pasteurized milk and dairy foods are safe to eat.
Take precautions if you have a backyard flock: Keep birds separate from other animals (like pets and livestock). Avoid kissing or putting birds near your face. Wash your hands before and after contact with your birds. Do not touch sick or dead birds without PPE. Contact your vet or local animal control if you notice illness or sudden death. For more information, visit California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Animal Health Branch.

Using this Toolkit

As California is the nation’s leading dairy state, CDPH has developed this toolkit to help partners respond to this issue. Use this toolkit to inform and share with those most impacted (dairy and poultry workers) and your communities about bird flu safety. In this toolkit, you'll find:

Suggested Messaging: El virus de la gripe aviar y otros gérmenes dañinos pueden encontrarse en la leche cruda (leche bronca) y causar enfermedades graves. Mezclar leche cruda con alcohol no ofrece la misma protección que la pasteurización. Tampoco lo hará prender fuego al alcohol. Es posible que aún haya bacterias y virus dañinos. La pasteurización es el proceso de calentar alimentos como la leche para matar el virus de la gripe aviar y otros gérmenes dañinos. ¡Elige leche pasteurizada para la seguridad de tu salud y la de tu familia!
