monkeypox: not a big deal

Found this online:

Monkeypox virus is transmitted from one person to another by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets and contaminated materials such as bedding.

So close and/or intimate contact = not a good idea. Monkeypox produces very visible white vesicles on the skin. Here's a picture:


Looks lovely, eh?

All in all, this disease seems easy to contain. I've heard that, when transmitted among humans, it's closely associated with anal sex (which doesn't mean it's exclusively a homosexual thing! back-door action is available to anybody who's willing), so just hold off on entering any warm mine shafts for a while. It's the people who lack self-control in that area who will likely contract the disease. Don't be one of them.
