Monkeypox: How to take care of yourself if you are infected with the virus
Globally, monkeypox has become a cause of concern with more than 31,000 cases being reported from nearly 90 countries. Monkeypox spreads when people have close, physical contact with an infected person’s lesions, their clothing or bedsheets. Most people recover without needing treatment, but the lesions can be extremely painful and more severe cases can result in complications including brain inflammation and death. First, determine whether you are infected: If you get rashes or lesions on your skin, don't immediately assume that you are infected with monkeypox. Some of the common symptoms associated with the disease include fever, fatigue, body aches and pains, swollen lymph nodes, rashes and lesions, which eventually turn into scabs and start to wear off.
