The World Health Organization confirmed the first human case of H5N2 bird flu in Mexico, signaling a novel strain not previously seen in humans. The 59-year-old man, who had no known exposure to poultry, died despite underlying health conditions. While no further human cases have been detected, authorities are monitoring closely, particularly after recent poultry outbreaks. Although the risk to the public remains low, health experts are vigilant for signs of the virus evolving for easier human transmission. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about bird flu variants and their potential impact on human health.
