CDC Warns Rare Human Case of Highly Contagious Bird Flu Has Been Confirmed in Texas

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Monday that a person in Texas has tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza, otherwise known as H5N1 bird flu.

“This person had exposure to dairy cattle in Texas presumed to be infected with HPAI A(H5N1) viruses. The patient reported eye redness (consistent with conjunctivitis), as their only symptom, and is recovering,” the CDC said in a statement. “The patient was told to isolate and is being treated with an antiviral drug for flu.”

The CDC said this is the second case of a human testing positive for H5N1 in the United States, after a previous case was observed in Colorado in 2022.

“This infection does not change the H5N1 bird flu human health risk assessment for the U.S. general public, which CDC considers to be low,” it added. “However, people with close or prolonged, unprotected exposures to infected birds or other animals (including livestock), or to environments contaminated by infected birds or other animals, are at greater risk of infection.”

Last week, dairy cows in Texas and Kansas were reported to be infected with bird flu – and federal agriculture officials later confirmed infections in a Michigan dairy herd that had recently received cows from Texas.

This bird flu was first identified as a threat to people during a 1997 outbreak in Hong Kong, according to the Associated Press. More than 460 people have died in the past two decades from bird flu infections, the World Health Organization says.

Texas officials did not identify the newly infected person, nor release any details about what brought them in contact with the cows.

The CDC said it is “working with state health departments to continue to monitor workers who may have been in contact with infected or potentially infected birds/animals and test those people who develop symptoms.”

A Texas dairy worker has tested positive for the avian flu, marking the first identified human case of an illness in the U.S. that has sickened cattle across several states over the past few weeks.

The infection, only the second human case of H5N1 ever recorded in the country, is worrying public health experts who for decades have cautioned that avian flu could pose a serious threat.

• Nattokinase2000 fibrin units (100 milligrams) orally twice a day without food. Breaks down the spike protein.

• Bromelain500 milligrams orally once a day without food. Also breaks down the spike protein.

• Curcumin500 milligrams orally twice a day (nano, liposomal, or with piperine additive suggested). Blocks the spike protein and prevents it from doing further damage.

Dr. McCullough recommends taking this treatment triad for at least three months for anyone suffering from or worried about post-COVID or post-vaccine syndromes.

Nattokinasebromelain, and curcumin are available over the counter at just about any health food store or pharmacy. But for best-in-class nattokinase, Dr. McCullough recommends Spike Support Formula, which also contains dandelion rootselenium, and a host of other promising ingredients that can help protect you and your family from the prolonged effects of spike proteins.

• Nattokinase (dissolves spike protein)

• Selenium (aids in helping the body repair itself and recover)

• Dandelion root (acts as a detoxifying agent supporting better liver function)

• Black sativa extract (may facilitate cellular repair)

• Green tea extract (provides added defenses at the cellular level through scavenging for free radicals)

• Irish sea moss (could help rebuild damaged tissue and muscle)

  • Nattokinase: 2000 fibrin units (100 milligrams) orally twice a day without food
  • Bromelain: 500 milligrams orally once a day
