    A 37-year-old man who is in critical condition after being attacked by monkeys in a Hong Kong country park has tested positive for B virus, making him the first person in the city to contract the deadly infection.

    Hong Kong authorities are investigating the case and warning the public to refrain from touching or feeding wild monkeys. Anyone wounded by monkeys should seek immediate medical attention, the Centre for Health Protection said in a statement on Wednesday.

    Family members said he was wounded during a visit to Kam Shan Country Park, a hiking destination known for its troop of wild monkeys, in late February, the report said.

    His is the first case in Hong Kong of the rare infection that can cause severe brain damage or death if not treated immediately, a spokesman for the Health Department said.

  3. Ah that sucks. I’ve been to that park and the monkeys are cool. Hope they don’t have to cull all of them.

  6. Monkeys are some of the most aggressive and cruel animals in nature, right after humans and orcas. You should never, ever, come close to one.
