SUMMARY: Officials have confirmed that a chicken flock from a commercial breeder in Greene County, Mississippi, has tested positive for H5N1 avian influenza (bird flu). The Mississippi Board of Animal Health noted that the poultry poses no food safety risk when handled and cooked correctly. The affected premises are quarantined, and the flock has been depopulated to prevent disease spread, with no birds entering the food system. This is the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Mississippi’s commercial poultry since spring 2023. Bird flu has been detected in migratory waterfowl, and poultry owners are urged to enhance biosecurity measures.

SUMMARY: Mississippi police are warning about a holiday scam called “brushing,” which is becoming more prevalent as package deliveries rise in December. This scam involves recipients receiving unexpected packages accompanied by a QR code that claims to reveal the sender’s identity. Scanning this QR code can compromise personal information, leading to potential theft. Victims may receive items with little to no information about the sender, including claims related to Amazon. Officials advise against scanning any unfamiliar QR codes and recommend reporting such packages. Awareness is key to protecting personal data this holiday season, according to police.
