Seems to affect mostly gay men atm.
Have to watch out for blisters on the genitals

There is a vaccine though and already being dished out to sexual health workers

As a youngster we used to hand milk cows with cowpox on their teats with no ill effects, wonder if this gives us immunity from monkey pox?
Iot should do as the smallpox vaccine is actually Cowpox. The vaccine probably stopped you getting cowpox.
Cowpox is very minor issue to humans I had very small vesicles between my fingers

Never had the smallpox vaccine as I think that was the one with a scratch on your shoulder?
