No new or old virus will pass by Dr. Komarovsky! Evgeny Olegovich commented on the situation in his latest video on YouTube. I share the most interesting information later in the article.



On May 7, the first case of the virus was recorded in the UK. According to the news, one Englishman returned from Nigeria, where he allegedly caught monkeypox. To date, the number of sick people in different countries of the world is approaching 2 hundred.

The official diagnosis has already been established in 17 countries, including distant Australia, the United States and Canada. And it's very thought-provoking. The fact is that monkeypox is not a new disease. It has been known about it for a long time, but earlier cases of infection were not only pointy, but also understandable in nature. A man, for example, went to Africa and got a virus.



However, now those who could not even think about such distant travels begin to get sick. So where did this monkey attack come from? In 1958, the virus was discovered in laboratory monkeys. In fact, this was the reason for the name of the disease. In fact, he has been around for years, and he The main carriers are not monkeys, but rodents.They live in the western and central regions of Africa.

What you need to know about the Monkeypox virus is in many ways very similar to smallpox. From the latter, as you know, at one time killed countless people. However, the disease was defeated with the help of a vaccine. When new cases of the disease were no longer recorded in hospitals, vaccination began to be gradually refused. It happened in 1982.



Previously, vaccination perfectly helped to avoid infection with both smallpox and monkey smallpox. But now there are fewer and fewer people vaccinated against this virus. That is why the mass appearance of new cases began. But here it is important to understand one simple thing. To get infected, you need to be in very close contact with the source of the disease, that is, a monkey or other animals.

The virus is transmitted through saliva. In other words, a sick person can easily pass the virus on to another person during a kiss. However, long-term contact with the infected person is extremely important. Infection is possible in other cases with very close contact with a person who has picked up monkeypox.



In addition, monkey pox can be caught through food. For example, if you eat meat of an infected animal that has not undergone proper heat treatment. But this is more of a hypothetical option than a real way to catch the virus.

The incubation period is usually 5–21 days. And the symptoms are almost no different from natural smallpox. It's a headache, weakness in the body, back pain, fever. After 5 days, the period begins when a rash appears on the body. It will be possible to completely get rid of its traces no earlier than in 3 weeks.

Editorial Board of the Editorial Board and Dr. Komarovsky panic. After the long-running COVID-19 pandemic, monkeypox appears to be baby talk. In addition, the official percentage of mortality from this virus is no more than 1%. Follow the rules of personal hygiene and watch your health. That's all the wisdom.



Evgeny Olegovich is indignant because there is so much hype around monkeypox now. This is not a cause for panic and anxiety. There is an opinion that the news about the emergence of a new virus in the global information field is an attempt to distract public attention from a full-scale war in Ukraine. I wonder what you think of that?

Take care of yourself and your loved ones anyway. Remember that you need to take care of your health at any time!
