A woman went viral for describing the lengths she went to — including calling the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — to figure out whether or not she has monkeypox.
In a TikTok video with the name Halle, a woman said that she woke up Sunday with an “insane rash” on her forehead and chest.
When she went to an Urgent Care facility the next day, she was told she has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, an infection caused by a bacterium. Wanting to confirm this diagnosis, she asked to be tested.
Halle said she was given an antibiotic and sent on her way after being told to see her primary care provider immediately.
Her doctor told her it was just a rash and gave her another antibiotic.
