This is currently the largest bird flu outbreak in U.S. history. About 58 million chickens have had to be destroyed as well as 6200 wild birds that included the bald eagle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is Avian Influenza A?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Avian Influenza A is also known as H5N1. It is a flu virus and is predominately spread amongst birds. It was first detected in 2020 and has since then spread by migration to Europe, Africa and Asia. In 2021, it was found to be in the U.S.\u00a0 Since that time, it has spread like wildfire and led to the destruction of 58 million chickens. Eggs prices have gone up significantly over the past year as a result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Where has it been found?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has also been found in mammals such as skunks, dogs, raccoons, bears, mountain lions and dolphins. However, scientists believe that these animals contracted it by feeding on birds that were infected with the virus. It normally had not been known to have mammal to mammal spread until recently when in Maine they found 150 dead seals. Autopsy reports were done and these mammals were found to have died due to the H5N1 bird flu. This is believed to be the first mammal to mammal transmission. In Spain, they found a mink farm also infected with the H5N1 virus and ended up destroying 51000 minks. In these minks there was a genetic mutation in the H5N1 that was similar to the H1N1 of 2009 which is concerning because this could make a jump to humans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Can humans get it?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been about 6 documented cases of H5N1 in humans, but no spread has occurred beyond this. The concern is that humans do not have any immunity to this, similar to what occurred with COVID-19. There are vaccines that have been developed for H5N1, but to ramp up significant production would probably take about 6 months if it were needed on a wide scale basis. This vaccine is a traditional inactivated vaccine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to improve your health?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MedCram wants to educate its viewers about potential health hazards in the world and how to best prepare and optimize your health.\u00a0 As we know from the COVID-19 pandemic, dependence on interventions that rely on testing, pharmaceuticals, supply chains, and prescriptions may not\u00a0 be available in any timely manner. We saw many instances of this during the recent COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MedCram has tried to focus on scalable interventions that can be done at home such as hydrotherapy, getting adequate sleep, exercise, good nutrition, and exposure to near infrared light by getting outside to optimize your health.
