Default Silver Springs Monkey Pox

Do the Silver Springs monkeys carry Monkey Pox? I understand that dozens of monkeys have escaped after the Tarzan filming and now live throughout Florida!

wow, ok. the monkeys who live there were brought in many years ago as a tourist attraction. they overmultiplied & now have run of the area. i've never heard of them having monkey pox, but i DO know they have herpes. so, just look from afar & take pics

The Apes are in hiding learning how to ride horses and shoot rifles. We'll be out of gas and forced to surrender.
