A Bizarre Skin Disease Is Mysteriously Spreading In The UK

A Bizarre Skin Disease Is Mysteriously Spreading In The UK by  for End of the American Dream

Monkeypox is a disease that I have been monitoring for quite a while now.  It is not supposed to spread easily from human to human, and hopefully that is still true.  But human cases are now popping up in the UK, and authorities are not exactly sure how it is spreading.  As we have seen with COVID, deadly diseases can mutate in dangerous and unpredictable ways.  And as we have also seen, a handful of human cases can ultimately turn into a worldwide pandemic.  So we should definitely keep an eye on this alarming new outbreak in the UK, because it could potentially become something much larger.

On Saturday, health authorities in the UK announced that two more human cases of monkeypox have been confirmed

Two more cases of rare viral monkeypox infection have been diagnosed in England, health authorities said on Saturday, adding that they are not linked to one reported a week ago.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said the latest infections involved people living in the same household and an investigation was underway into how they contracted the virus.

But these two new cases did not have any contact with the first case that was confirmed on May 7th.

So authorities are in a race to figure out how they could have contracted it.

As for the case that was confirmed on May 7th, authorities believe that the victim was infected in Nigeria

It comes after the first case was detected in a person who recently flew into the UK from Nigeria on May 7.

The patient received specialist care in an isolation unit at Guy’s and St Thomas’ infectious disease hospital unit in London, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

Hopefully these cases have been isolated quickly enough and officials will be able to successfully contain these outbreaks.

Because monkeypox is not something that you want to mess around with.

It is similar to smallpox, but the good news is that it is usually not as severe.  The following comes from the official CDC website

In humans, the symptoms of monkeypox are similar to but milder than the symptoms of smallpox. Monkeypox begins with fever, headache, muscle aches, and exhaustion. The main difference between symptoms of smallpox and monkeypox is that monkeypox causes lymph nodes to swell (lymphadenopathy) while smallpox does not. The incubation period (time from infection to symptoms) for monkeypox is usually 7−14 days but can range from 5−21 days.

Since it has such a long incubation period, that would make it an ideal candidate for a global pandemic if it mutates into a form that can spread easily among humans.

According to the CDC, monkeypox has a death rate in humans of about 10 percent…
