Melissa in the Morning: Bird Flu Woes
May 30, 02:27 PM
The Bird flu has been found in alpacas for the first time. The Department of Agriculture says it's the latest spread of the H5N1 bird flu virus. It's the latest worry around a bird flu outbreak nationwide. We talked to Dr. Browne about the news and how bird flu has a trickle down impact on prices of popular food items, like eggs. We also discussed a news story in Georgia that can impact Connecticut meat eaters too! A family went to the hospital after their black bear meat kebabs gave them parasitic worms. Dr. Browne dives into that as well.
