Overview
Risk factors for contacting monkeypox virus include close physical contact with infected person or animal (including direct contact with lesions, bodily fluids, and respiratory secretions), direct contact with contaminated materials such as towels[1][2]., eating undercooked meat[1][3], and complex exposures to infected animal (e.g., invasive bite or scratch that breaks the skin)[3][4].
Risk factors
- Direct contact with lesions, bodily fluids, or respiratory secretions of an infected person or animal[5][3][6].
- Consumption of undercooked meat of infected animals[1].
- Daily exposure or complex exposure to infected animal. “Complex” exposures (e.g., invasive bite or scratch that breaks the skin) were associated with shorter incubation periods, pronounced signs of systemic illness, and hospitalizations[3][4].
