-
but even more severe than normal;
-
aches; and a rash.
-
And this is what's characteristic of smallpox,
-
is that as the virus spreads through your body,
-
it particularly, it particularly affects cells of your skin.
-
So, you get a rash, or a redness of the skin.
-
And then you would recover for a while,
-
that initial phase of the illness would disappear,
-
your fever might go down,
-
you might appear to be normal.
-
Then you start to get lesions on your skin
-
that are very characteristic of smallpox.
