A woman is now experiencing health problems after coming into close contact with lab monkeys that escaped after a crash on a Pennsylvania highway.

Michelle Fallon witnessed a truck crash Friday while it was towing a trailer load of 100 of the animals. She stopped to help.

“I thought, well, zoo monkeys,” Fallon said. “I didn’t know these were animal test monkeys.”

"I touched everything. I walked through their poop, I touched their crates, I tried to pet them".
Yeah. Dont do that.

These are MIGHTY STRANGE times we’re living in… Why does this remind me of one of those movies that starts with an escaped lab animal leading to a worldwide deadly disease?!

Umm. It seems like she should be in quarantine and not giving interviews in close proximity to other people. Her nose appeared to be running as she was talking. The last thing we need is another communicable disease out there. SMH 🤦🏾‍♀️ Who knows what those poor animals were carrying.

Hey guys … as a general rule of thumb … don’t stick your finger into the crate of an animal with which you don’t already have a relationship, let alone random monkeys …

What a ridiculous story! Who puts their hand in a cage of an unknown animal who just was in an accident?

Sticking your finger in a cage that you don't know what's in it pure genius right there

Don't try to pet a monkey or ape. They are surprisingly strong and can be unpredictable. Just as humans in captivity can be.

Why the hell would anybody try to pet an animal that not only you know nothing about, but had just been in an accident and would be completely freaked out. Absolutely brainless, in my opinion.

This sounds like a plot for an apocalypse movie

Dude, you're not even supposed to pet a strange dog, even one that's on a leash and obviously a pet. Even if you thought it was a zoo monkey, they still can decide to not be your friend and turn your day bad really quickly.

And now here we are, 3 months later and a monkey pox outbreak is happening

Even if they were cats, I wouldn't go poking my finger in their cages. I hope she will be ok.

Most of you are just not getting it…this happened because it needed to be exposed and investigated. This woman just took one for the team without realizing it. Luckily someone like her is speaking out on this and the cats outta the bag or more like the monkey outta the box. Prayers up for this kind and thoughtful woman🤲🏾♥️

A reminder of the consequences of treating animals like things. They're not here for us. They're here with us.

Imagine calling your health insurance company and saying you need coverage for medical bills because 100 monkeys fell off the back off a truck in the middle off Pensilvania and you got sick from petting them

This happened a town over from where I live! People in my area are suspicious, there is people that think this was deliberately an accident! But who knows, it's scary times we live in folks!! Stay aware of your surroundings and stay safe!! Praying for this poor woman!

I wouldn't be surprised if this is going to be the excuse for a the start of a 'new' virus escaped into the Public. Fear, fear, fear ... Nothing surprises me anymore. In the meantime, I wish these poor monkey's the best of luck in their new found freedom while it lasts.

Could this be where our “newest” monkey pox outbreak originated? Our patient zero? First case was reported in Boston, second in New York.

I feel so sorry for these poor, innocent monkeys. Animals shouldn’t be tested on 😢

She's the reason we have so many warning labels. And even then..
