What is Monkeypox, Complete Guidelines About it.
Introduction
Monkeypox is a rare viral infection. It was first discovered in Africa in the 1950s and has since been reported in several other parts of the world, including Europe and Asia. In March 2003, an outbreak occurred at a monkey research center near Kano in northern Nigeria and caused approximately 70 deaths. Since then, there have been no further reports of outbreaks or infections involving monkeys carrying monkeypox virus.
Monkeypox is a rare viral infection.
Monkeypox is not a form of smallpox, which was eradicated in 1980. Smallpox is caused by the variola virus and can be spread through contact with an infected person's saliva or mucus droplets. It causes severe pain, fever, vomiting and diarrhea in humans; however it rarely kills them outright (less than 1 percent). The symptoms are most severe for those who have never been vaccinated against it before—and even then only about half will develop them at all.
Monkeypox is also not contagious like chicken pox or herpes simplex viruses; you don't need to touch someone else's body fluids to catch it! Instead monkeypox spreads from person-to-person via direct contact with an infected individual's skin lesions or bloodstream (or possibly other bodily fluids).
Monkeypox is not a form of smallpox.
Monkeypox is not a form of smallpox. Smallpox is a human disease, and monkeypox is a virus that affects monkeys in the same way that humans are affected by the poxvirus. The two look very similar, but they're different diseases.
Smallpox was known as “variola” in ancient times, but it has been extinct for more than 200 years because of vaccination programs and other medical advances made since its discovery in 1796 by Louis Pasteur (known for his work on rabies).
Monkeypox is spread through infected bodily fluids.
Monkeypox is not spread by the air, food and water. It is also not spread through insects or animals. The virus does not pass from person to person through sex or touching.
Symptoms of monkeypox include fever, chills, and muscle aches.
Monkeypox is not a form of smallpox, which is a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease. It's also not chicken pox or cow pox, and it's not seal pox.
No treatment exists for monkeypox.
The disease is not a form of smallpox, and it's not contagious. Monkeypox is spread through bodily fluids like sweat, saliva and semen. It can also be transmitted by sharing food or drinking glasses used by an infected person.
The first symptoms to appear are fever and chills followed by muscle aches; this may last for several days or weeks before the infection runs its course. Other possible side effects include nausea, vomiting and headaches but these symptoms usually go away within a few days after being infected with monkeypox virus
Monkey pox is a serious ailment but no deaths were reported in the 2003 outbreak
Monkeypox is a serious illness, but it’s not the smallpox. Smallpox is a highly contagious viral disease that has been eradicated worldwide. It can be spread through direct contact with infected people or through contaminated objects like used clothing and bedding or by touching an infected person's eyes or mouth.
Monkeypox does not spread through the air like smallpox does; instead it is spread through bodily fluids such as sweat and saliva (usually from contact with someone who has monkeypox). This means that if you get monkey pox from someone else, there's no way for you to pass it on yourself unless you touch their saliva or sweat!
Conclusion
If you think you have monkeypox, see a doctor immediately.
