First Non-Travel Case of Monkeypox Hits California — How Does the Virus Spread?
Monkeypox, also known as mpox, can spread easily between people in close contact or face-to-face, according to experts.
A Long Beach resident has reportedly tested positive for the virus.
Discovered in Denmark in the 1950s, monkeypox has been on the radar of health experts for decades.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the virus can present with various symptoms, including:
- rashes
- fevers
While the virus is typically non-fatal, some people are susceptible to severe infections, which can result in death.
It's essential to determine if someone experiencing monkeypox symptoms truly has the virus, as other viruses like chickenpox, measles, and certain skin infections can mimic its appearance.
Other viruses can make treatment a bit trickier.
