In cutaneous anthrax there is a 1 to 7 day of incubation period, a small papule appears at the site of inoculation. A papule is a small solid pimple or swelling that may form a rash and may typically be inflamed. It develops into a vesicle filled with clear fluid. Subsequently, a small ring surrounding of similar vesicles develops and fuses. This fusion turns into a large lesion causing erythema, which is superficial reddening of the skin, pruritis a severe itching of the skin and non pitting edema ( swelling in certain parts of the body) pain is rarely experienced.

Patrick Guilfoille explains in his book “Chicken Pox Deadly Disease and Epidemics” that shingles is a viral infection characterized by blisters that are usually located on one side of the body. In the case of the baby these blisters are located on back (page68). 2. Chicken pox. Shingles does not usually occur in babies, but if a baby is exposed to chicken pox earlier in life and months later the babies immune system is compromised that baby can develop shingles.
The flu begins abruptly, causing high fevers, generally 102 -106F, headache, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, muscle aches and stiffness, chills, fatigue, malaise, sweating, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lack of appetite, and worsening of other illnesses such as heart failure or asthma. The fever will typically last up to five days. General body symptoms such as body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sweating should decrease at about the third day and respiratory symptoms should then begin to set in. The flu virus can emerge anywhere in the respiratory system, producing the indications of a cold, croup, sore throat, bronchitis, ear infections, or pneumonia, these symptoms should start to diminish at around four to seven days. The tiredness and coughing can lasts for weeks after the flu is
Untreated septicemia plague is universally fatal, but early treatment with antibiotics reduces the mortality rate to between 4 and 15 percent (Wagle 1948; Meyer 1950; Datt Gupta 1945). People who die from this from this form of plague often die on the same day symptoms first appear. The pneumonic plague infects the lungs, and with that infection comes the possibility of person-to-person transmission through respiratory droplets. The incubation period for pneumonic plague is usually between two and four days, but can be as little as a few hours (Kirby, R. 2005). The initial symptoms, of headache, weakness, and coughing with hemoptysis, are indistinguishable from other respiratory illnesses.

There was now a smaller chance that people would come in contact with dangerous microbes early in life, when the infection was milder and maternal antibodies offered temporary protection,” (Oshinsky 31) resulting in more appearances of polio. Polio, also known as infantile paralysis, had the potential to cause partial or full paralysis in a child. However, this contagious disease had different severities. For example, in less severe cases of polio, a child might have discomfort or stiffness of the limbs of their body accompanied with a fever or a skin rash. Polio was passed on through direct contact with an infected child, infected mucus from coughing and sneezing, and feces.
The bugs dampen down overactive immune responses, which can lead to rashes or cause cuts and bruises to become swollen and painful. The findings support previous research which suggests that exposure to germs during early childhood can prime the immune system to prevent allergies. The so-called “hygiene hypothesis” has previously been used to explain why increasing numbers of children suffer allergies such as eczema and hay fever in more developed
