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.

The only way to stop and “help” this situation is to cleanse the area with fire.
Convert Guantanemo if you must - don’t bring this crap onshore.
Sheesh - will the stupid never take a day off?
Thats actually a illness isnt it?
Since Fauci arrived on the scene around 35 years ago and got control of the $$$ billions of research funds, about everything the CDC has done since has become a real live horror show.
Next disease/pandemic step up please! BS
By any chance, did the truck originate in Fort Detrick, Maryland?
Can you shock the monkeys?
But I am just a monkey man
I’m glad you are a monkey woman too
Valtrex 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. Valtrex will not cure herpes and will not prevent you from spreading the virus to other people. However, this medicine can lessen the symptoms of an infection.So it will SLOW the growth of the virus and LESSEN the symptoms of an infection. I'm glad I'm not her.
😂
True. Will it be ok to say her illness was caused by a leak from a truck? Or will that be quashed, too?
I can shock the monkey to life...
Yep, that was my first thought. I wouldn't be surprised to learn these are bioweapons lab animals with some serious pathogens.
The infected monkeys were being transported in an unmarked, unplacarded trailer.
“My lord, is that ... legal?”
Freakin’ nice.
“...is being monitored for symptoms of rabies and monkey herpes virus B.”
To see if she has contracted GAIN OF FUNCTION rabies or virus B.
EVERYTHING the government does is, by definition, legal, Citizen.
(where "Citizen" is pronounced to rhyme with "SCUM!")
It's not easy.
A truck full of Faucis breaks down and some of them escape. What could possibly go wrong?
