**SACRAMENTO, Calif. (FOX26)** – California health officials have identified a third possible case of human bird flu in the state, marking the latest in a growing trend of animal-to-human transmission. The individual, a Central Valley resident with contact to dairy cattle, is currently undergoing testing by the CDC for confirmation.
The case appears isolated, with no known connection to the first two reported cases on Friday, which involved Tulare County dairy workers. All three individuals experienced mild symptoms and had contact with animals on separate farms.
While the specific county of the latest case remains undisclosed, the California Department of Health emphasizes that the situation suggests only animal-to-human transmission, as there is no evidence of human-to-human spread. The department is working with agricultural officials to monitor the situation and ensure public safety.
