7 things you should know about the spread of Monkey Pox#shorts #WHO #monkeypox #monkeypoxcases
Monkeypox is a viral disease from the same family as smallpox, though its symptoms usually aren't as serious
How Is Monkeypox Transmitted?
Monkeypox is a zoonotic virus, which means it spreads from animals to humans.
It can also spread from person to person from close contact through
1) Body fluids like blood or semen
2) Contact with monkeypox lesions on their skin (including inside their nose and mouth)
3) Things that have touched infected body fluids, like bedding or clothing (This happens less often.)
4) Infected animals can pass on the virus if they bite or scratch you. You can also get it from eating uncooked contaminated meat.
5) The virus can get into your body through a break in the skin (which you might not even be aware of) or through your mouth, nose, or eyes.
6) You can breathe it in, but you’d probably have to be in close contact for a fairly long time. That’s because most droplets don’t travel very far.
7) People infected with monkeypox can pass it on during sex. WHO officials say 98% cases in late April and late June of 2022 were sexually transmitted, mainly among gay or bisexual men.
