Lewis would suffer from a bad case of the flu one winter and Clark suffered from a "rheumatism of the neck" which caused him pain for several days. For Clark, Lewis applied a "hot stone wrapped in flannel" to help ease his pain.
On August 11, 1806, near the end of the expedition, Lewis was shot in the left thigh by Pierre Cruzatte, a near-blind man under his command, while both were hunting for elk. At first, Pierre blamed Blackfoot natives for the injury, but after the Corps found no sign of Blackfoot, he admitted the accident. Clark bandaged and treated Lewis' wound,.
