<p>On this episode of *“What's Crap on WhatsApp?”* we take a deep dive into a claim that has been doing the rounds:</p><p>A spokesperson from the South African health laboratory linked monkeypox to men who have sex with men.</p><p>Monkeypox spreads through close contact with an infected person. Among its symptoms are painful rash, fever, muscle aches, chills and exhaustion.</p><p>The claim is incorrect.
