You may have been reading about monkeypox across social media in Massachusetts and other parts of the world.

WHAT IS IT? From the CDC: “Monkeypox was first discovered in 1958 when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research, hence the name ‘monkeypox.’ The first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) during a period of intensified effort to eliminate smallpox”

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW? The Washington Post’s “What is monkeypox, the rare virus now confirmed in the U.S. and Europe?” (May 18, 2022) and within that article it shared, “How Worried Should We Be? How Does This Compare to covid-19?”

WHAT ABOUT IN HAWAII? In Hawaii, there are currently NO advisories regarding monkeypox at Hawaii State Disease Outbreak Control Division’s homepage.

HOW TO WASH AND DRY YOUR FAVORITE DENIM JEANS – To me, doing my laundry is a gift!
