A Georgia woman diagnosed with monkeypox said she didn’t contract the “painful” virus via sex — and is using TikTok to fight “misinformation” about the disease.
Camille Seaton, 20, began feeling unwell partway through July and rushed to a hospital when she noticed blisters breaking out on her face.
The young mother was subsequently stunned when she tested positive for the virus — declared a public health emergency in the United States earlier this month.
Monkeypox, which is spreading across the US following an outbreak in Europe this spring, is primarily impacting gay and bisexual men, who account for about 98% of patients, according to NYU biologist Joseph Osmundson.
Seaton — who is the first female to be officially diagnosed in the Peach State — works as a gas station attendant and said she believes she contracted the virus while handling “dirty money” at her job, according to a now-viral video with more than a million views.
The mom spent more than two weeks isolated at her townhouse, with her 3-year-old daughter being cared for by other family members.
Seaton additionally told the publication that her monkeypox symptoms were serious, saying: “I was in pain literally all of the time.”
“It was itching. It was joint pain. It was excruciating headaches. It was fainting. You have to go through so much before you even start the healing process,” she added.
At home alone, Seaton turned to social media to fight misinformation about the virus, sharing TikTok clips.
In the viral video, Seaton states: “I’m here to tell you again that sex is not the only way to contract this virus. Yes, it’s mostly been men who have gotten it – I’m only the first woman to have gotten it in the state of Georgia – but all people are different.”
“This is no joke,” she further warned. “Wash your hands, wear masks, stop touching people, wear gloves.”
She continued: “The virus isn’t airborne but it might as well be. You can catch it from sitting in a confined space with somebody that has it – a car, a plane, a room.”

¡Moneypox!
They're looking for a less offensive name. Moneypox is easy to redact and is à propos of the big bucks Big Pharma hopes to make from a new vaxx.
I've done well without the covid vaxx in spite of several risk factors and will pass on this one too.
Some believe I'm a Trump supporter. Until he apologizes for Operation Ludicrous Speed, I am not even considering him returning to politics.

I would not be surprised. Do you realize how many germs are on money?
