How is Monkeypox spread? What are the symptoms after contagion of the disease? Here is a particular case to learn more about this condition.
Monkeypox is a contagious disease that we have heard much more about in recent months. Coming out of the crisis caused by Covid-19 and now, are the clouds about confinements, hydroalcoholic gels, restrictions on certain activities and masks coming again? The truth is that this does not seem to be repeated. In fact, with a vaccine available, it does not seem that it will be announced a vaccination campaign in the short term. We know very little, so personal testimonials can be a source of information.
Do you know someone who has suffered from this disease? Just a few days ago the first death derived from this ailment was known. Therefore, it is important to know what are the important guidelines for be able to know the methods of transmission and, of course, to what extent you have to exercise extreme caution. Following a series of basic tips can be of vital importance. Despite the information available, the truth is that we do not know much about how we can get infected or what the effects and symptoms of the disease are.
Let us see, therefore, through a testimony, how a person who claims, as described in his first tweet in which he explains his case, not having participated in sex parties. It should be noted that the World Health Organization has established a set of variables that could explain the outbreaks. Among the observed cases, there seems to be a correlation due to the practice of this type of meeting. What is behind a real case?
The testimony of a person infected with Monkeypox
The Twitter user @mei_rito He wanted to share his experience about the contagion he has suffered from the Monkeypox virus. Her testimony can shed light on how a person can be spread without having to go to sexual practices or through the realization of tattoos. Yes, this cause has also been valued. Based on the above, how has the contagion occurred in this particular case? A purchase of an electric scooter through Wallapop has been key.
Yesterday I was diagnosed with monkeypox. No, I haven’t participated in any sex party as the WHO says, nor have I gotten a tattoo… You’re going to freak out when you find out how I caught it #MonkeyPox 🧵👇

The previous thread shows in great detail how he got infected with the pathogen. Apparently, a few days ago she wanted to buy an electric scooter. After evaluating different proposals, he decided to stay with a user who wanted to sell his. At the meeting, the seller allowed him to try it for a few minutes and, after that, our protagonist decided to finish the deal with a handshake. The symptoms began to arrive days later. Yes, fever was the most noticeable symptomalthough muscle pain also made its appearance.
Faced with a possible case of Covid, he decided to carry out up to 3 PCR’s with the aim of making sure that he had not been infected. The negatives were a constant so this condition was ruled out. After a few days quarantining ‘just in case’, he decided to return to his face-to-face work. At the time of taking the previously purchased electric scooter, she realized that the pressure of the wheels had dropped significantly, fact that caused me to call the seller. After a while of conversation, he told her that he had been infected with Monkeypox.
Our Twitter user contacted a friend of his who is a doctor and told him about some kind of contagious sores, which appear mainly on the hands and face. After verifying this information, he contacted the seller again, who confirmed that he had had a series of wounds on his handseven before it was diagnosed. This made him turn on all the alarms. According to his Twitter thread, he believes that either the handshake or the scooter handles themselves were the chain of transmission of the virus.
If the veracity of this story is confirmed, the truth is that it would be necessary to go back to bring out hydroalcoholic gels for its apparent effectiveness.
