Monkeypox is spreading in the United States with more than 4,000 confirmed cases—16 of which have been confirmed in South Carolina. Symptoms include: Headache; muscle aches and backache; swollen lymph nodes; chills; exhaustion; respiratory symptoms (e.g. sore throat, nasal congestion, or cough); a rash that may be located on or near the genitals or anus but could also be on other areas like the hands, feet, chest, face, or mouth. The rash will go through several stages, including scabs, before healing. The rash can look like pimples or blisters and may be painful or itchy.
