We really shouldn't be surprised, but it has begun. Some stores in Missouri and Illinois have started rationing the number of eggs you can get at one time.
While the cost of eggs continues to increase, there are a few ways to make that carton last longer in your fridge. Some may even keep past the "sell by" date.
If bird flu isn't already on your radar in Missouri, perhaps it should be now. There are now reports that a sudden outbreak of 8 possible bird flu cases have occurred in Missouri.
Health authorities would have us believe that the bird flu case in Missouri was an isolated "one off" episode. That's apparently not accurate as there is now confirmation that the person who cared for the Missouri bird flu patient also had symptoms.
Multiple sources are confirming two different facts. First, there's a human bird flu case in Missouri. Second, the infected person has not had contact with animals and is not a farm worker.
We now know that the United States is testing ground beef for the bird flu. It is unclear however if Missouri beef is affected based on information that's been released so far.
There's now reason to be seriously concerned about recent cases of the bird flu as the state of Missouri has now issued a warning about this highly contagious sickness that has now been detected in a farm worker.
