South Carolina Public Radio staff report:
The City of North Charleston has issued a public health notice after officials say several dead geese and ducks were found in Quarterman's Pond. According to a post on North Charleston Government's Facebook page, Avian influenza, or bird flu, is suspected.
Seasonal bird migration is underway which can cause bird flu cases to rise. City officials say while the risk to dogs is considered low, the virus can affect other animals and sometimes humans. They encourage backyard poultry owners to be extra cautious. [emphasis added]
