Monkeypox is a viral disease that typically causes a painful rash. There is no known treatment or cure, but most cases clear on their own. Canada reported last month that most cases for which information was available were of men who reported sexual contact with other men. Its main method of transmission is not entirely clear, but it is known to be transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact, bodily fluids such as saliva, and contaminated objects.
