Do you have a backyard flock? The CDC has issued a request for information from private flock owners to assess areas where H5 bird flu prevention measures can be better addressed. The survey is anonymous and takes about a minute to complete.

If you have questions regarding bird flu and your flock, you can also reach out to Vermont's Agricultural Agency:

Did you know "poison" parsnip can cause serious burns? You've probably seen this plant, especially on roadsides and fields. If you come in contact with the plant's sap, it reacts with the sun and can cause burns on your skin.

If you get sap on your skin:
- Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water as soon as possible.
- Protect your exposed skin from sunlight for at least 48 hours.
- If you experience a skin reaction, call your health care provider.
