We had our first United States known documented case back in 2003, where there were 47 confirmed cases. This is how we got it. Some in the United States came in contact with prairie dogs that had been housed with some infected rodents. Those prairie dogs, either by biting, scratching, or coming into contact with the humans transmitted it. Fortunately, none of those people died even though monkeypox can be deadly. Monkeypox Symptoms and Signs Monkeypox symptoms are similar to those that you get with other viruses including fever, headache, fatigue, myalgia, or muscle pains. You can also get back pain and you can get characteristic lymphadenopathy meaning swollen lymph nodes like in your neck or under your chin. Monkeypox Treatment The beautiful thing is that there is a treatment for the monkeypox virus. In 2019, the FDA approved a treatment for monkeypox called tecovirimat (TPOXX®). And if a person has severe monkeypox, you can do tecovirimat in combination with a medication called Brincidofovir. If you have any of the symptoms of monkeypox or if you feel like you've been exposed, put on a mask and contact your physician as soon as possible.
