According to health officials, an out-of-state guy visiting Dallas probably spread monkeypox when he went to visit a gay bathhouse.
From June 22 to 25, the unknown man went to Club Dallas, a private men’s steam room where patrons can “socialize in one of our lounges or enjoy a video in your private dressing room.”
According to the Dallas Health Dept, the man was infectious at the time and has a documented case of monkeypox.
According to the health department, the man had multiple sexual partners during his visit.
Monkeypox is transmitted through bodily fluids, monkeypox sores, and shared clothing and bedding. In close quarters, it can also be spread via respiratory secretions.
Dallas health officials have issued a warning to anyone who frequented Club Dallas that they may have been exposed to monkeypox and should be on the watchful for signs. Before a rash appears, it is common to experience fever, swollen lymph nodes, and body aches.
According to the health department, the only other four cases of monkeypox identified in Dallas County have indeed been men who have sex with other men and have recently traveled.
