Bacteria, like e-colii can be on plant foods.

Don't know about this H5N1 virus. It is present in standing water due to the spread of the virus in water fowl. Infected birds drop poop as they fly over farms, gardens, fields, lakes, etc.

I have been wondering about water runoff from farms where cows and chickens are infected. If it gets into groundwater, can it affect plants? Researchers are testing the possibility of wells and water reservoirs (human drinking water) becoming sources of infection. They are testing the amount of chlorine needed to keep drinking and bathing water safe.
