What Is Monkeypox? And How It Can Be Transmitted From Human To human?

   What Is Monkeypox? The monkeypox virus causes the disease monkeypox. It's a zoonotic virus, which means it may transfer from animals to humans. It can also spread from person to person. 

Monkeypox is most usually found in tropical rainforests in Central and West Africa, where animals that can carry the virus flourish. On occasion, monkeypox cases have been reported in countries outside of central and west Africa regarding transportation from endemic monkeypox areas.

Indication of Monkeypox:

The patient with monkeypox shows the following symptoms 

•   Fever
•  Strong headache
•  Muscle aches 
•  Back discomfort
•  Low energy,
• Swollen lymph nodes
•  Skin rash or lesions 

How monkeypox can be transmitted from human to human?

• Monkeypox patients are contagious while they are experiencing symptoms (normally for between two and four weeks). Monkeypox can be contracted by close physical contact with someone who is experiencing symptoms. The rash, body fluids (such as fluid, pus, or blood from skin lesions), and scabs are all contagious and can spread. Clothing, blankets, towels, and things such as dining utensils/dishes that have been contaminated with the virus as a result of contact with an infected individual can infect others.
• Infected ulcers, lesions, and sores in the mouth can also transfer the virus through saliva. People who have close contact with an infectious person, such as health care providers, household members, and sexual partners, are more likely to become infected.
• The virus can also be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus through the placenta, or from an infected parent to their kid through skin-to-skin contact during or after birth.
• It's unclear whether those who don't show any signs of the sickness can spread it.

Preservation Measures:

• Limit your interaction with those who have suspected or confirmed monkeypox to lower your risk.
• If you have to come into touch with someone who has monkeypox because you work with them or live with them, encourage them to self-isolate and conceal whatever skin lesions they have if they can (e.g., by wearing clothing over the rash). 
• Wear a medical mask when you are physically close to them, especially if they cough or have lesions in their mouth. You should also put one on. 
• When feasible, avoid skin-to-skin contact and wear disposable gloves if you have a direct touch with lesions. 
• If the person cannot do it themselves, use a mask when handling any clothing or bedding.
