A jar of smallpox scabs!

A jar of smallpox scabs!

So my daughter and I sat down to watch "House M.D." yesterday. A girl was scuba diving and came up with a jar of little black flakes in it. Of course, she broke the jar and cut herself. Turns out they were from a 1700's ship infected with smallpox and the doctors used to save the scabs from infected patients to use as a vaccine.

This was how me and Rosie spent the next few minutes.
