A new viral threat is spreading fast, and it's essential to stay ahead of the game. Monkeypox, a rare disease that originated in Africa, has gone global, and we need to take action.

Recognize the Symptoms

Don't ignore these warning signs:

- Fever

- Swollen lymph nodes
- Painful blisters and rashes (often starting on the face, then spreading to other parts)

Protect Yourself

Take these simple steps to avoid Monkeypox:

1. Wash your hands: Frequently and thoroughly with soap and water.
2. Avoid close contact: Steer clear of people with symptoms or who have recently traveled to affected areas.
3. Don't touch: Avoid direct contact with infected animals, surfaces, or contaminated materials.
4. Keep surfaces clean: Regularly disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects.
5. Get vaccinated: If you're in a high-risk group or have been exposed, consult your healthcare provider about the vaccine.
6. Practice safe s*x: Use protection and avoid intimate contact with someone who has symptoms.
