It's only as contagious as herpes. Do you have herpes? No? Then you have a higher chance to get struck by lightning than monkeypox

I assume you are referring to type 2, the virus associated with genital herpes?

Human herpes virus 2 (HHV2) is also called herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2). It typically causes genital herpes, a sexually transmitted infection. However, it can also cause cold sores in the facial area.

I think we need to be careful about this because chickenpox is itself a herpes virus.

Human herpes virus 3 (HHV3) is also called varicella-zoster virus. HHV3 causes chickenpox. It can also cause a recurrent virus infection of the skin, which is called herpes zoster or shingles.
