Researchers are sounding the alarm after health officials announced that monkeypox has now been "detected in all 50 states," ABC News writes, confirming that Wyoming was the
"final state to report a case of the disease." The Wyoming Health Department's Dr. Alexia Harrist clarified how the disease circulates, explaining that it's unlike most
