Peter Kelly said monkeypox gave him the 'worst pain' of his life
Peter Kelly was still bouncing back from COVID-19 when a case of monkeypox gave him the "worst pain" of his life.
Kelly's fever broke on the third day and soon after he said he noticed red rash. He said he immediately began to search the web for what the rash might be.Doctors suspected it was herpes, which Kelly said "freaked" him out. There are over 6,000 lab-confirmed cases across the globe and three people have died from the disease, showed data from the World Health Organization. Local transmission of monkeypox has been recorded with no epidemiological links to countries that have previously reported monkeypox, such as western or central parts of Africa, it said.
During those three weeks, Kelly said he lost all his dancing and training work but his bills kept piling up.
