Public health officials are alarmed as bird flu cases are detected in dairy farmworkers and cattle in several states. The virus poses a high-consequence threat if it mutates to infect humans more easily. Challenges include the voluntary nature of testing, limited access to healthcare for rural dairy workers, and the workers' reluctance to seek testing due to financial concerns. Efforts are being made to ramp up testing and surveillance in dairy farms to prevent a potential public health crisis.
