Symptoms of monkeypox and methods of spread
With monkeypox, the patient begins to feel fever, muscle aches, chills, an increase in lymph nodes. Then a rash appears on the face, as with chickenpox or syphilis.
In this case, the rash can spread to other parts of the body, including the genitals.
In total, the disease lasts from two to four weeks.
Risk factors for smallpox transmission include sleeping in the same room, living in the same house, and eating or drinking from shared utensils.
At the same time, scientists suggest that now smallpox can be transmitted not only by airborne droplets, but also in another way – through mucus during sexual contact.
