...Dr. Brian Zurcher of the Adams County [Indiana] Health Department said no one there had ever heard about Monkeypox until this past weekend. That's when he learned of two confirmed cases in Adams County.
"The mother I believe is going to be okay. She's doing pretty well. The child, unfortunately, is still seriously ill," said Zurcher.
The mother and daughter contracted the disease from two prairie dogs that they kept as pets. They also took the animals to a home-based daycare in Berne.
