How do you get monkeypox?

Monkeypox is spread mainly through direct contact or through large amounts of exhaled droplets. Monkeypox is transmitted from virus-infected animals or people, and can be transmitted to people through a variety of animals, causing infection through direct contact with the blood and body fluids of infected animals. The main way of monkeypox human-to-human transmission is through contact with respiratory droplet transmission, or contact with body fluids of infected people or contaminated items, such as clothes and towels. Therefore, family members with the disease are at greater risk of infection. There is a certain incubation period after being infected by the monkeypox virus, followed by uncomfortable symptoms such as high fever, headache, cough, swollen lymph nodes and abdominal pain. For monkeypox, patients with different physical conditions and different stages of the disease are treated differently, and should be treated in a standardized manner under the guidance of a doctor.
