AN escape of lab monkeys on a Pennsylvania highway has sparked fears of a virus outbreak after a woman who came into contact with them later fell ill.
Michelle Fallon stopped to help after a truck carrying 100 cynomolgus macaques crashed on Interstate 80, spilling animal crates across the tarmac.
State troopers said four of the primates were on the loose and warned the public not to try to catch them on Friday evening.
They have all since been accounted for.
Now it has emerged a passerby who was at the scene is being treated for symptoms of an unknown illness.
Michelle, of nearby Danville, was driving behind the truck when it crashed on the way to a research facility.
She got out to help the driver with the smashed crates, initially believing they were transporting cats.
When she put her hand on a cage, one of the three monkeys inside hissed at her but she was not bitten or scratched.
She said she also stepped in animal feces amid the chaos as four monkeys ran away into woodland.
The next day she developed Covid-like symptoms including a cough and pink eye.
Doctors gave her the first of four rabies injections together with an anti-viral drug.
She said on Facebook she was contacted by the CDC and is being monitored for symptoms of rabies and monkey herpes virus B.

Real life story in the Chronicle of Higher Education once—some grad students had to do various tasks in a research lab for the university’s grant project. As a couple of students on different work shifts went past the monkey cages the monkeys strained and reached out, slashing their upper arms.
The students came down with high fevers and weird symptoms and were in the hospital for a long time with organ damage. Grad students tried to form a union to get better safety guidelines enforced but it didn’t work out.
Not a good job to take.
There are some serious illnesses associated with monkeys, some fatal. I’d be worried the ‘pink eye’ is herpes related, something common in some types of monkeys.
The CDC was very quick to start issuing warnings and trying to contact people who might have come in contact with them, without proving much detail about health concerns. Wouldn’t be surprised if the monkeys were infected with some serious pathogens that the CDC will try to cover up.
Actual good advice. During a business trip in India got taken to Agra to see the Taj Mahal, the grounds of which are peopled by thousands of monkeys. We were told not to even look them in the eye as they would respond aggressively. One could run up and bite chunks off your face before you'd know what was happening. Nasty little buggers. They are only limited to throwing feces at visitors in the zoo because of the cage.
Monkey Express: When it absolutely, positively has to infect you overnight.
Who is trying to develop a new covid using monkeys? And who didn’t take extraordinary precautions so the monkeys wouldn’t escape?
28 days later...
ALL SHE DID WAS STICK HER FINGER IN THE CAGE AND NOW SHE HAS SYMPTOMS AND IS BEING MONITORED BY THE CDC ??????!!!!!
THEY NEED TO FESS UP ABOUT WHAT THOSE MONKEYS WERE INFECTED WITH.

FDA APPROVED Stromectol is the brand name for Ivermectin. Ivermectin was discovered in 1975 and first marketed as a veterinary medicine in 1981. Human applications followed in the late 1980s. William Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for its discovery and applications.
I do better with written words, due to hearing impaiment form 2 Meniere’s attacks.
What is Valtrex? Valtrex (valacyclovir) is an antiviral drug. It slows the growth and spread of the herpes virus to help the body fight the infection. Valtrex is used to treat infections caused by herpes viruses, including genital herpes, cold sores, and shingles (herpes zoster) in adults.

virus B can be fatal to humans,
so was this a planned crash and FF release,
or an accident showing more abuse by FauXi and his beard?
“being monitored for symptoms of rabies and monkey herpes virus B”
It’s not monkey herpes, it’s just a cold sore!!!
Oh that suit will never protect him. He’s not wearing a cloth mask!!!
