The disease that people often call 'monkeypox' is officially named Mpox by the World Health Organization (WHO). Monkeypox is part of viruses that also includes smallpox and cowpox. It's mostly commonly found in Central and West Africa, but it can spread to other places when people travel or have close contact with someone who is infected. If someone gets monkeypox, they usually have a fever, a skin rash, and swollen areas all over their body. The safest thing to do is to avoid getting close to people who might have it or to animals that carry the virus.

Monkeypox symptoms are like having flu: fever, headaches, muscle aches, and feeling tired. After a few days, a rash shows up, starting on your face and spreading to your body. The rash changes, going from bumps to blisters filled with fluid, then forming crusts. Swollen lymph are common too. Usually, these symptoms go away on their own after a few weeks.

To steer clear of monkeypox, avoid getting close to animals such as rodents and monkeys, especially in areas where the disease is common. If you have to be around animals or people who might be sick, wear gloves and masks to stay safe. Wash your hands with soap and water often, especially after touching animals or other person's things. Remember to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and avoid touching your face until you've washed your hands. If you live where monkeypox is common, getting the smallpox shot can protect you.

If you touch someone who's sick or an animal that has monkeypox, you might catch it too. People who live with someone who has it are also likely to get infected. Doctors and nurses are at risk because they help sick people. Kids can get sicker than grow-ups with monkeypox. Babies can get it from their moms before they're born or after they're born if they touch a parent who's sick.

Monkeypox spreads when you're very close to someone who has it, like being face-to-face, touching their skin, or kissing. People stay contagious until all their sores have dried up, which takes about 2 to 4 weeks. The virus can stay on stuff touched by infected people and can spread from animals like monkeys or squirrels if they bite or scratch you, or when you handle them, like when you're hunting or cooking. If you eat meat from animals that have monkeypox and it's not cooked well, you might get monkeypox too.

Treating monkeypox is mainly about helping the person feel better and helping their body fight the virus. Doctors don't have a special medicine just for monkeypox, but in serious cases, they might give antiviral drugs like tecovirimat (TPOXX). Taking simple pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help make you feel better if you have a fever or muscle ache. If you have monkeypox, drink a lot of water and take it easy to help your body fight the virus. Keeping the rash clean and not scratching it can stop more germs from getting in.
