A Summary Of CowPox
Days 1-6 (after infection): the place that is infected gets inflamed macule (flat red lesion). A lesion is like a sore.
Days 7-12: the inflamed sore becomes raised (papular), then develops into a blister-like sore (vesicle).
Days 13-20: the vesicle becomes filled with blood and pus and eventually bust. Other lesions may develop close by.
Weeks 3-6: the ulcerated wound turns into a deep-seated, hard, black crusty sore (eschar) which is surrounded by redness and swelling.
Weeks 6-12: the eschar begins to flake and slough and it will heal but usually leaves a scar behind.
Cowpox is a skin disease caused by the cowpox virus. The pox is related to the vaccinia virus. It got that name from the spreading of the disease when dairymaids, or people that milked cows, touched the udders of infected cows.
The sickness shows up in the form of red blisters, and is carried by touch from infected animals to humans. Cowpox is similar to but not as bad or as easy to get as the deadly smallpox disease.[1] It resembles mild smallpox, and was the basis of the first smallpox vaccines. When the patient recovers from cowpox, the person is immune to smallpox.
