Smallpox
SYMPTOMS start with high fever, chills and prostration and then may show
signs of backache, headache and pains in the muscles. Three days later,
small red pimples appear on the face and in a day or so blisters that fill
with clear fluid develop.
CAUSES are transmitted by contaminated clothing or person-to-person. It is
thought that smallpox has been completely eradicated world wide.
TREATMENT. Consult your doctor immediately.
.Medication for itching and fever. Antibiotics, nourishment and rest.
