Preparing Your Holiday Turkey Safely

Preparing Your Holiday Turkey Safely

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, let's ensure a safe and healthy holiday meal for everyone! Practicing proper food safety can help prevent communicable diseases like Salmonella and Campylobacter (often called "Campy").

Here are some essential tips:

🧼Clean: Wash your hands, utensils, and surfaces often.
🐓🦃Separate: Keep raw meat and poultry separate from ready-to-eat foods.
🧑‍🍳Cook: Use a food thermometer to ensure your turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
🧊Chill: Refrigerate leftovers within two hours to prevent bacteria growth.

Stay safe, and enjoy a happy Thanksgiving! 🦃✨

Store, thaw, handle, and cook raw turkey to prevent foodborne illness.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Washington County Public Health!

H5N1 High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), commonly known as bird flu, is a global concern

H5N1 High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), commonly known as bird flu, is a global concern

H5N1 High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), commonly known as bird flu, is a global concern. It is widespread among wild birds and has caused outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cattle, with some recent human cases reported among dairy and poultry workers in the U.S.

To minimize the risk of exposure to infected animals, consider the following preventive actions:

*🐄Reduce human exposure to infected animals.
*🦃Use and enhance personal protective equipment (PPE).
*🐄Identify and test workers who may have been exposed.
*🦃Offer testing to asymptomatic workers with high-risk exposure.
*🐄Provide education and training about prevention measures.
*🦃Get your seasonal flu shot.

While the flu vaccine won’t prevent H5N1 infection, it can lower the risk of illness and protect against other strains of influenza. The most effective steps you can take include practicing proper hand hygiene and staying up-to-date on vaccinations.

You already protect your livestock—why not protect yourself, your family, your friends, and your community too?

Farmers and farm workers, protect yourself this flu season with a free flu vaccine!
Have questions or need to schedule an appointment? Contact Washington County Public Health at 319-653-7758.

Stay healthy and safeguard your community and livestock!
