🇺🇸 mpox

Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a viral disease that can cause a rash, fever, and other flu-like symptoms. It is currently trending due to recent reports of new cases in regions such as Northern Nevada and its detection in wastewater samples near Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. These developments have led health officials to urge vaccination for individuals at higher risk. The virus primarily spreads through close contact and caused a notable global outbreak in 2022.
