NEW YORK — 'It was the worst pain that I have experienced in my life,' says 26-year-old New Yorker Kyle Planck, recalling his recent monkeypox infection.

NEW YORK —"It was the worst pain that I have experienced in my life," says 26-year-old New Yorker Kyle Planck, recalling his recent monkeypox infection.

A doctor told him to wait and see how his symptoms evolved, but after four days of being feverish he developed spots that left him in no doubt."I had about 30 lesions develop at that point," he says at his apartment in the borough of Queens. Mr Planck was in intense pain for a week, especially from the lesions on his mucus membranes, before the drugs started to relieve his symptoms.

He believes his case was"relatively mild" because he was able to receive treatment and that"so many people are going through worse."
