After 2 probable cases of monkeypox were found in Utah, here's everything you need to know about the disease, its symptoms and prevention.

Because monkeypox does not occur naturally in the U.S., cases are very rare in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most cases are found in people who have traveled to areas where the virus is more commonly found, mainly central and western African countries.

A virus related to smallpox, though milder, the CDC reports the first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970. The incubation period for monkeypox is usually between one to two weeks, but can take longer.Monkeypox causes lymph nodes to swell, which differentiates itself from smallpox. After symptoms are shown, someone infected with monkeypox will develop a rash, which usually begins on the face before spreading to other parts of the body. The rash turns into fluid-filled bumps, or pox, that eventually scab over and fall off.

According to the CDC, monkeypox is transmitted in people when they come into contact with another human, animal or materials that have previously been contaminated. The virus enters through broken skin, the respiratory tract or mucous membranes. Human-to-human transmission occurs through direct contact with body fluids or lesions, while animal transmission can happen from a bite or scratch.The CDC reports a case of monkeypox lasts between 2-4 weeks, and there is no known treatment.

Listen universe, I only have enough patience in my life for one pandemic. You're just going to have to wait.

I really don't care. I'll get sick, I'll recover, and get on with my life. If not then... Bye...

My son sounded just like me today. He said, “well maybe we should just never leave our house” 😩
