A person in Yakima County, Washington, died after contracting bird flu from exposure to infected dairy cows, county health officials said on Sunday. It is the first US bird flu death in 2026 and the third in the US since February 2024, and at least three other people may have been exposed at the same dairy.
The death raises attention on dairy-linked infections and could add pressure for more herd testing and controls, which affects milk supply. Health officials rate the risk to the public as low, so the direct price effect is limited.
