The Plague
Started with a headache
Then… back ache, nausea, vomiting, back pain, soreness
in his arms and legs
Within a day or two, the swellings appeared. They were
hard, painful, burning lumps on his neck, under his arms,
on his inner thighs. Soon they turned black, split open, and
began to ooze pus and blood. They may have grown to the
size of an orange.
Then it really gets ugly… the death within a week.
Warning… next slides are
