See NHS guidance on contamination of meat in endemic countries as UK monkeypox cases rise

Clarification: This story has been updated to more clearly reflect the risk of the spread of monkeypox via meat is specific to animals located in West and Central Africa. The headline has been updated to reflect the information has been provided in the form of standard guidance by the NHS rather than a warning. See the government guidance here.

As the UK sees a “significant and concerning”rise of monkeypox in the UK, the NHS has guidance available on its website.

According to the NHS website, monkeypox can be spread by touching clothing, bedding or towels used by an infected person, touching monkeypox blisters or scabs or the coughs and sneezes of a person infected by the disease.

Standard guidance on the NHS website relating to countries where monkeypox is endemic says the infection can also be spread by animals and eating meat although this is mainly liked to animals in west and central Africa. However, it was worth noting that monkypox is not endemic in the UK.

The website says: “Monkeypox can be caught from infected wild animals in parts of west and central Africa. It's thought to be spread by rodents, such as rats, mice and squirrels.

“You can catch monkeypox from an infected animal if you're bitten or you touch its blood, body fluids, spots, blisters or scabs.

“It may also be possible to catch monkeypox by eating meat from an infected animal that has not been cooked thoroughly, or by touching other products from infected animals (such as animal skin or fur).”

touching other products from infected animals (such as animal skin or fur).”
