Francisco's lesions started after returning home to Mexico City from California in late June: First, two spots on his buttocks. Then, a week later, lesions all over his body, his mouth so full of sores that he could barely talk or drink water.
"The pain was indescribable, catastrophic," said Francisco, 44, who asked Reuters to conceal his real name.
Francisco had one of at least 59 monkeypox infections confirmed in Mexico since May, which experts believe could undercount the true number.
In Latin America, Mexico ranks behind Brazil and Peru for confirmed . . .
