Monkeypox is spread through contact with bodily fluids, monkeypox sores and shared clothing and bedding. It can also be spread through respiratory droplets in close settings.
Dallas health officials are warning anyone who visited Club Dallas that they may have been exposed to monkeypox and should be monitoring themselves for symptoms. Fever, swollen lymph nodes and body aches are common before a rash appears.“Nationally, many monkeypox cases are occurring within sexual networks,” said Dallas County Health and Human Services.
Club Dallas did not respond to The Post’s request for comment about whether it had notified patrons they may have been exposed to the disease. The only other four cases of monkeypox reported in Dallas County have been men who have sex with other men and who traveled recently, the health department said.
