However, this does not mean that we can completely "lie flat". We still need to know how monkeypox spreads and how to prevent it.
Before understanding the mode of transmission of monkeypox, let's talk about the origin of monkeypox virus. Monkeypox was first discovered in monkeys on 1958. It is a virus that makes people and animals sick. 1970, the first case of monkeypox infection was found in Congo (DRC), and then there were many outbreaks of monkeypox virus in West African countries. But because it was not found around us, it was not taken seriously by the people.
The main modes of transmission of monkeypox are as follows: "Through direct contact with the blood, body fluids, skin or mucosal wounds of infected animals; The secondary transmission between people is mainly due to close contact with respiratory secretions of infected people, skin damage, or articles contaminated by patients' body fluids or diseased tissues (such as clothes and sheets). ); Through mother-to-child transmission and xing transmission; Monkeypox virus can exist in respiratory droplets, but it usually takes a long time to spread face to face. "
After understanding the main transmission routes of monkeypox, let's talk about how to prevent monkeypox virus:
0 1, smallpox vaccination. According to the existing research, smallpox vaccine is also very effective against monkeypox virus, and the effective rate is about 85%, because they belong to the same virus family. Of course, whether vaccination is necessary depends on the actual situation. As far as the current environment is concerned, I personally don't think there is much need for vaccination.
02. Household disinfectants can effectively kill monkeypox virus.
03. Avoid contact with animals or patients who may carry monkeypox virus. This practice can be said to solve the possibility of being infected by monkeypox virus from the source. At the same time, I also suggest that you pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your hands frequently (with alcoholic hand sanitizer or soapy water) and change clothes frequently, because this can effectively eliminate germs.
Some people may ask whether the monkeypox virus will spread as widely as Firth's disease, which I think is unlikely. This is because the death rate of monkeypox virus is relatively high, which prevents the continuous spread of monkeypox virus to some extent. However, everything should not be taken lightly. There is nothing wrong with knowing more.
All walks of life are more difficult this year, but we must strengthen our confidence, the plague will eventually disperse and flowers will bloom all the way in the future.
