Hello, everyone! In today's video, we're diving into a topic that might be new to many of you—monkeypox. Curious? Let's get into the details!
🔍 What is Monkeypox? Monkeypox is a viral disease that is similar to smallpox. Despite its name, it can infect humans. First identified in monkeys in a laboratory in 1958, the first human case was recorded in Congo in 1970.
🔄 How Does It Spread? The monkeypox virus spreads through direct contact with body fluids of an infected person, sores from the monkeypox rash, or contaminated objects. It can also spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
⚠️ Common Symptoms: Symptoms include fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, and a rash that turns into fluid-filled blisters on the face, hands, and feet. The rash can be itchy and painful.
🤔 Should We Be Concerned? Most cases are self-limiting and resolve within weeks, but it's important to seek medical attention to avoid complications, especially for vulnerable groups like children, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems.
🛡️ Prevention: To prevent the spread of monkeypox, maintain good hand hygiene, avoid close contact with infected individuals, and follow safety measures like wearing a mask and social distancing in areas with reported cases.
