edMonkey pox can be contracted by coming into contact with the saliva, blood, urine, or other bodily secretions of an infected animal or human. It is also transmitted through contact with objects, such as bedding, that have been contaminated with an infected animal’s bodily secretions.
Additionally, monkey pox can be acquired through direct contact with infected animals, such as monkeys, rats, bats, squirrels, rabbits, prairie dogs, and even humans. Finally, it can also be contracted through inhalation of airborne particles of contaminated bodily secretions.
