If not, don't read any further.

One of my students did a research project on Victorian diseases. She found out about small pox parties. Apparently people wanted to expose themselves to small pox in order to build up immunity, so they'd get together for a party where one guest had small pox. They would cut open the pox and then rub it all over each other.

EWWWW!!!

Maybe you could try it with Walter and Henry...; October 28, 2010 at 4:58 p.m.
