Monkey Pox, a rare disease, is currently being investigated in a number of European countries, the UK, the US, Canada and Australia but just how dangerous is it?

Over the past few weeks, there have been more than 1700 cases in the UK.

But experts say infections are mild and the disease does not pose a high risk to the public.

Monkeypox is caused by the monkeypox virus a member of the same family of diseases as smallpox.

It has generally occurred in remote areas of central and west African countries that are in close proximity to tropical rainforests.

And it’s known to have two strains.

The unusual number of people testing positive for the virus around the world, who’ve not travelled to countries it’s generally seen in, means the virus is spreading.

Here’s how you catch monkeypox

Most cases of the virus are mild and clear up on their own within weeks.

but there have been reports of more severe cases resulting in deaths in West Africa.

There are also vaccines for the virus.

We are all coming out of a pandemic, and don’t wish to go into more lockdowns.

And with monkey-pox, we should listen to the experts, as investigations about the disease are continuing.
