While the pandemic, which has been effective for two years, has decreased, the monkeypox virus has started to spread around the world. The virus has so far been officially seen in nine European countries, as well as the USA, Canada and Australia. Monkeypox symptoms include high fever, headache, back pain, muscle pain and swelling. Monkeypox virus is transmitted through a wound in the skin, through the respiratory tract, or through the eyes, nose and mouth.

A rare disease, monkeypox was first discovered in 1958 when two outbreaks of a smallpox-like disease appeared in monkey colonies held for research.

WHAT IS A MONKEY FLOWER?

It is a rare disease that comes from the same virus family as monkeypox. The virus was first discovered in 1958 in colonies of research monkeys, according to the CDC.

The first human case of the virus was detected in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Most monkeypox infections still occur there today, but the disease has also been reported in several other central and west African countries, the CDC said.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF MONKELOOM VIRUS?

Monkeypox virus has some symptoms that occur in different parts of the body. Among the first detected symptoms, high fever, headache, back pain, muscle pain and swelling come to the fore.

As the fever increases, a rash and itching begins to occur in the body. This usually starts on the face and then reaches other parts of the body. It commonly occurs on the palms and soles of the feet. Itching can be extremely uncomfortable or painful. On the other hand, after this itching process passes, the sores on the soles of the feet and palms crust over and pass.

Scientists and experts state that this infection can generally last between 14-21 days.
