What is the monkeypox?

The monkeypox virus is a member of the Orthopox virus family, which also includes the virus causing smallpox. First discovered in Denmark in 1958 in a group of research monkeys, monkeypox is thought to have been transferred from an unknown type of rodent. Mostly spread in Central and West Africa in recent decades, several cases appeared in the United States in 2003 all linked to keeping prairie dogs as pets. The disease has again been spreading in Nigeria since 2017 before spreading again across different continents including the United States.

How is monkeypox spread?

Monkeypox is mainly spread through prolonged skin to skin contact. While it is not a sexually transmitted disease, research has shown that sexual contact is the easiest way to spread it from one person to another along with dancing, kissing, or shaking hands. Another avenue of transmission is touching an object or fabric that has had contact with a monkeypox-infected person such as clothes or bed linen. Though not as common, this virus is also spread through respiratory droplets with sustained close contact.

Symptoms of a monkeypox infection usually occur 7-14 days after exposure. Monkeypox symptoms include:

• exhaustion
• skin lesions
• swollen lymph nodes
• fever
• headache
• rash
• muscle aches
• congestion or cough

To protect yourself and others from being exposed to monkeypox, make sure everyone washes their hands regularly and avoids close contact with others.

What if I have monkeypox?

If you or someone you love has developed symptoms, have the potentially infected person avoid contact with other people and seek medical attention for testing. While there is no immediate cure, there are medications and the smallpox vaccine that can help an infected person. That person then needs to stay isolated until all their lesions are healed as they can infect others until that point. This process can take several weeks.
