Hold onto your bananas, folks, because monkeypox has just swung into Massachusetts! The Massachusetts Department of Public Health announced today that they’ve detected the first case of monkeypox infection in the entire United States for 2022. Just like a mischievous monkey swinging from tree to tree, this virus has traveled all the way from Canada, infecting a man who recently visited our northern neighbor. Monkeypox is a rare and contagious viral disease that tends to circulate among animals but can sometimes spill over to humans. Luckily, human outbreaks of monkeypox are rarer than a pink elephant sighting at the zoo. Scientists are working diligently to track this rogue virus and prevent its spread. While we don’t have all the answers yet, learning from this case and others can help us understand how monkeypox moves through populations and what measures we can take to protect ourselves. So stay curious, stay informed, and be sure to always wash your hands!
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health on Wednesday said it had confirmed a single case of monkeypox virus infection in a man who had recently traveled to Canada.
