To what extent should we be concerned about monkeypoxes?
It is a wider infection similar to smallpox. Its origin dates back to 1970. As the name suggests, the disease first emerged in monkeys kept for research in the late 1950s. You can catch the infection. However, it's generally spread by rodents like rats, mice, If an infected beast bites you or by touching an infected beast. Experts have also observed that monkeypox can be transmitted through sexual contact. The disease nearly disappeared 40 times after being eradicated through vaccination in the 1980s. Only tore-emerge in Nigeria in 2017. The virus has two major streams, called the Congo Stream and the West African strain. What are the symptoms that you need to watch out for? If you have fever, muscle ache, lesions and chills, also you should get yourself checked. However, it might take anywhere between 6 to 13 days before the symptoms appear, If you're infected. Presently there's no specific treatment available for the disease. Considering the unusual outbreak, the World Health organisation has now called for an emergency meeting of the Xbox to discuss the situation.

ACCORDING TO DOCTOR Angelique Coetzee:-
{ from Pretoria in South Africa [an Advisory Board member of the Solidarity Doctors Network.] }
It's a virus infection. It seems as if it's the. Past two years or viruses. So this is another virus infection. And as you could actually sit these two strains, but it seems that the mildest rain, the waste strain, is the West African strain is presently driving the figures. Which isn't really very high presently and in the past few years we also have never seen a huge number of people infected with this virus when there was sort of an outbreak. So it's not an undersigned position also we see with a corona Family this actually not a reason for any panic at this stage. What's extremely important is to understand, as you have mentioned, the symptoms so that people can go and get help from the health health practitioners as well as the doctors. To look out for this sometimes and again I think how to differentiate between only Crone or your flu viruses cause the initial picture is more or less the same is the fact that they're lesions, bicycles or pastels. In your face mostly hands and feet. So that is how you would sort of say okay this isn't flu, this isn't one of the the culvert diseases, it's something else you may need to check but what was important to understand is this is mostly now a disease of the younger people. Most people 50 and older have been vaccinated against smallpox. And we, you know, smallpox has been eradicated and therefore there is no vaccination anymore. And part of that vaccine programme for our late or all the cases or people with that, it would protect you against monkeypox. So we will see this more predominantly around the younger people Also.
