Herpes B is often a fatal disease in humans, and many wild monkeys have it. Strangely it doesn’t spread from monkey to human easily in the wild, even in close quarters with thousands of tourists. But it transmission does occur via lab monkeys. It’s one of the diseases WHO/CDC are watching. If it starts infecting humans, you can be videos like this will be much rarer, uhm, hopefully.

“Yes, it’s wood. It feels like wood. Isn’t that ASTOUNDING???”
I hate people like that.
