This is very good question! Now there is no small pox. Before eradication of the small pox, there used to be confusion between the small pox and chicken pox. The blisters of smallpox typically used to be uniformly erupted at a time. The eruptions of chicken pox comes up in crops. The eruptions of small pox used to come from the basal layer of the skin. So there used to be scars all over the body of the patient, who used to survive the attack of the disease. The chicken pox does not leave the scar in normal course, unless there is secondary bacterial infection. The disease used to be more in severity as compared to chicken pox.
What else can I help you with?
How did smallpox survive through history?
Edward Jenner made a vaccination out of pus from one of the blisters of a person with smallpox
Patient reports fever started several days before blisters appeared Based on the information would you suspect chickenpox or smallpox?
Smallpox, because the rash is centrifugal on the patient.
What terrible disease caused an epidemic which killed over 3000 people in Montreal in 1885?
The epidemic was caused by smallpox, a highly contagious and deadly infectious disease. Smallpox is characterized by fever, rash, and the development of fluid-filled blisters on the skin. Vaccination campaigns were crucial in controlling and eventually eradicating smallpox globally.
How did the first nations catch smallpox?
they caught it by high fevers and blisters, and when they traded with the British.
Do smallpox hurt?
Yes. They are essentially blisters in which the skin reacts accordingly. When you've a blister or any type related, such as a pimple, it is sensitive to the touch.
How do you prevent getting smallpox?
You cut the blisters of other small pox victims and grind it to a fine powder and snort them. This will prevent you from being infected with only a small chance of you getting it. Btw Smallpox is extremely hard to get now adays
Who played an important role in smallpox vaccination?
Edward Jenner, a physician in the late 18th century, is credited with being the "Father of Immunology." It was observed at the time that milkmaids had a lower incidence of smallpox than the general population. Jenner believed that the milkmaids caught cowpox from cows by contact with blisters. Jenner inoculated an 8 year old boy by transferring material from cowpox blisters of an infected person onto the scratched skin of the boy. Cowpox, although not the same as smallpox, is similar to the virus. People inoculated with cowpox material were able to be immune to smallpox.
Do you have a fever before showing signs of blisters for smallpox?
Small pox is eradicated. You no more see the patients of small pox. It is not likely to see the patients in future also. Patients used to get the fever before showing the signs of blisters in small pox.
Major disease 1500 1750?
smallpox was a major disease around the eighteenth centuary.1 in 10 people died from the disease, most of them were children.Smallpox are pus-filled blisters that cover your whole body from head to toe. The symptoms of smallpox are headaches, fevers, backaches, and general fatigues.
How did Edward Jenner try out his cowpox experiment?
Edward Jenner was a country doctor who had studied nature and his natural surroundings since childhood. He had always been fascinated by the rural old wives tale that milkmaids could not get smallpox. He believed that there was a connection between the fact that milkmaids only got a weak version of smallpox - the non-life threatening cowpox - but did not get smallpox itself. A milkmaid who caught cowpox got blisters on her hands and Jenner concluded that it must be the pus in the blisters that somehow protected the milkmaids. Jenner decided to try out a theory he had developed. A young boy called James Phipps would be his guinea pig. He took some pus from cowpox blisters found on the hand of a milkmaid called Sarah. She had milked a cow called Blossom and had developed the tell-tale blisters. Jenner 'injected' some of the pus into James. This process he repeated over a number of days gradually increasing the amount of pus he put into the boy. He then deliberately injected Phipps with smallpox. James became ill but after a few days made a full recovery with no side effects. It seemed that Jenner had made a brilliant discovery.
Who can get cowpox?
Cowpox is a virus that causes blisters, similar to smallpox. It was most commonly seen in 'milk maids' - young female workers that milked dairy cows for a living - so it was called cowpox. In the 1800s, a physician noted that milk maids who had recovered from cowpox did not contract smallpox, and the first vaccine was developed.
Who is discovery led to creations of vaccines?
Edward Jenner is generally credited with inventing the first vaccine against smallpox in 1796 using material from the blisters of cowpox, however the first paper published that mentioned the principle of using cowpox to prevent smallpox was filed by Dr Fewster in 1765, but he never pursued the idea.
