The virus also spreads when objects like clothing or bedding become infected by an individual who has been directly exposed to the item&#8217;s surface bacteria before they become sick themselves. This process of &#8220;contamination&#8221; often occurs during everyday activities such as work, where hands come into contact with various surfaces while handling metal tools near animal cages at zoos.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, monkeypox is not as quickly transmitted through casual contact compared to coronavirus. You can only catch it if you have prolonged physical proximity, like cuddling or talking closely with somebody infected. The risk of contracting the disease is also high since the virus tends to stay on surfaces with more opportunities for others to come into direct contact.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Direct contact with the infected person<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Exposure to surfaces, objects, and personal belongings of the infected person<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Prolonged exposure to the patient&#8217;s respiratory secretions<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Scratch or bites from infected animals<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Eating the meat of infected animals<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Pregnant women to their fetus through the placenta<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/poxvirus\/monkeypox\/clinicians\/clinical-recognition.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">incubation period for monkeypox<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is typically between 3 to 17 days, with symptoms lasting up to 4 weeks.
