(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In one of the most disgusting cases of monkeypox yet, a man’s nose is rotting off after his decaying flesh was misdiagnosed as a sunburn, the New York Post reported.
The unnamed man, a 40 year-old German, noticed the sores on his nose beginning to turn black over the next several days as pus-filled sores began to cover his face, according to the medical journal Infection, which first reported on the case study.
The man in question also has HIV-AIDS and syphilis but had never been tested for either—likely spreading the sexually-transmitted diseases to untold romantic partners.
The antiviral medication that he was given at the hospital reduced the sores on his genitals and face, but his nose remained in dire condition.
Because of the “severe immunosuppression” related to the HIV infection, the combination of diseases resulted in nasal necrosis—or the rotting of his nose.
Monkeypox, which spreads almost exclusively through gay intercourse (gay men comprise about 98% of patients, according to the Post), has been worked into a “public health emergency” by the Left.
That has raised suspicion among some that it may be exploited as a way to undermine election integrity in the upcoming U.S. midterms, as the coronavirus pandemic was in the 2020 election.
As of Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention listed more than 14,000 reported cases of the outbreak in the U.S.
A study released Thursday confirmed that the virus was not spread through skin-to-skin contact as was previously postulated, but rather through sodomy.

Nonetheless, the disease has also spread to some children with nine reported cases as of Friday, which the media has covered ad nauseam, though one might wonder how children (and at least one dog) were getting this particular disease, given how it spreads.

The first known case of human to dog #monkeypox transmission has been documented in medical journal, the Lancet. The dog caught it from its owners, a non-monogamous gay couple in Paris. The greyhound developed an anal ulceration & mucocutaneous lesions. https://t.co/UkJy1RsJ5X

Of course, the disease is not at all deadly—even less so than COVID—and its spread has been much more controlled. There have been zero reported deaths in the United States so far.
According to Dr. John Whyte, chief medical officer of WebMD, doctors “are still learning about it,” but added that things just are not that bad. “We haven’t known [the current outbreak] to be fatal. And that’s a good thing.”
