Bird-Flu Outbreak - UPDATE
June 3rd 2008 06:19 pm
According to Fox News, a bird-flu outbreak has occurred in Northwest Arkansas, affecting 15,000 hens at a Tyson plant. Word is that the flu will not affect humans, but it did affect Tyson’s stock price before closing today. In the interest of sharing accurate information, I have an e-mail in to the Arkansas State Veterinarian for verification of all the facts and any potential threat to humans. I will update as further information becomes available. Please check back.
UPDATE: I heard from our state veterinarian who assures me that there is no concern for human health.
