Symptoms of monkey pox

According to the CDC, the incubation period varies from seven to 14 days. Early symptoms often resemble the flu, including fever, chills, fatigue, headache, and muscle weakness, followed by swollen lymph nodes that help the body fight infection and disease.

"A feature that distinguishes monkey pox infection from smallpox infection is the development of swollen lymph nodes," the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.

This is followed by a rash spreading to the face and body, including the mouth, palms and soles of the feet. It can also spread to the genital area.

Painful blisters, raised, with pearls and juices, often surrounded by red circles. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), lesions eventually peel off and disappear within two to three weeks.

What to do if you get sick

The CDC advises that you avoid contact with other people in the first place. Another tip:

"If possible, call ahead before you go to the health center. If you can not call ahead, tell the officers that you are concerned about the monkey line as soon as you arrive."

The CDC says you should tell your doctor any of the following, if true, within a month before symptoms begin:

• You have been in contact with someone who may have apes.

• you are a man who has had intimate contact (including sexual contact) with other men.

• you are in an area where monkey pox has been reported or where monkey pox is common (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Liberia, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone and Sudan ).

If you are ill and may have monkey pox, the CDC advises delaying public transportation until you get permission from your healthcare professional or public health officials.
