a fun fact to know, that monkeys carry a type of herpes, called herpes B virus, which is related to HSV1&2, while herpes is usually a benign infection in the monkeys, the HERPES B virus is quite deadly to humans if they infected by it, because its a zoonotic virus, and humans dont have similar virus to it, much like with avian flu virus.

Yeah... same here.
