Smallpox

cowpox gives immunity to smallpox.

Jenner observed that people who worked with cattle and contracted cowpox from them.

it wasn't LoL you guys are all dorks

It's abit smaller and more poxy.

An example sentence with the word "smallpox" is:

My sister was diagnosed with smallpox when she was three.

Usually 7 to 17 days after transmission of the virus

These days, smallpox exists only in a few dedicated research laboratories in the United States and Russia, and a couple of other places. "In the wild", smallpox is extinct, the first major worldwide disease to be eliminated.

Before about 1900, smallpox could be easily transmitted by casual contact; breathing the same air, sharing the same blankets, or by touch. It was wildly virulent and quite deadly to its victims. In pre-1400s Europe, smallpox was a serious disease, but most people had developed at least a little resistance because of repeated contact.

When Europeans began to travel the world, smallpox traveled with them. Smallpox had never existed in the Americas or in much of Asia, and the arrival of smallpox was deadly to large numbers of people, who had no resistance to it.

Yes small pox does in fact effect animals. Animals may even carry this which it can give to it's owner/owners.

His discovery led to the eradication of smallpox around the world.

Good question. Generally we don't directly study smallpox, because it is a very dangerous virus. Instead we study related viruses such as Vaccinia.

However the CDC in Atlanta does maintain smallpox for research, but only under extremely safe conditions.

The cow pox germs got in the way of the small pox germs, so he didn't get small pox.

If you didn't get treatment for smallpox you can easily die or you could be disfigured or blinded.

Modern medicine for smallpox involves the use of vaccination, specifically the vaccinia virus, which effectively prevents the disease and has led to the global eradication of smallpox in 1980. In contrast, old medicine relied on variolation, where material from smallpox sores was deliberately introduced into healthy individuals to induce a milder form of the disease. While variolation provided some immunity, it carried significant risks and was not as effective or safe as the modern vaccination methods. Overall, modern approaches focus on prevention and eradication, while old methods were more reactive and risky.

It's NOT for people with skin disorders, like eczema, and other immune disorders.

Some of the most famous people that you may be aware of who had smallpox were US presidents George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin also had smallpox.

There is no actual cure for Smallpox. It was eradicated in 1979, so no one gets it anymore. However, many scientists believe that if an exposed person was vaccinated within a certain time frame (4 days, I think) they would not break out with the disease.

cows

It killed off the Aztecs as well!

yes it was back in the 70s especially if you wanted to travel to other countries.

You can get smallpox even if you have had chickenpox.
This was a popular question before irradication of small pox in seventy's in last century. (Probably 1976.) Now a days as small pox is kept closed in laboratory in London, you will not get it. ( Now it is high time that these stored germs should be destroyed. As once they were accidently leaked out of lab in 1978. If you happen to catch small pox, then the fluid from the vesicles of the patient will be good source of virus. You can prepare the vaccine from this source. If leaked out these viruses can be used by mad terrorist group as biological warfare weapon.)
Immunity to chickenpox does not confer immunity to smallpox, even though the original smallpox vaccine was based upon cowpox. Also note that smallpox has been eradicated, and unless it is released from some secret stockpile of biological weapons, nobody is going to get smallpox, ever again, and hence we do not need to worry about how to prevent people from getting it.

Smallpox is believed to have emerged inhumans

from 10,000 BC

absolutely false

... yes
