firstly, money doesnt cause you to break out in puss filled boils but anyhow…..
assuming you mean m pox, its a disease passed by close skin contact, not through the air, so will not be any issue with flights

Unless you're going to one of the areas in Africa likely to have outbreaks can't see it being an issue.
The new variant may be able to spread by close contact.
