Chapter 375 Still Needs to Be Protected 1
"In fact, cows, that is, the most common cows we see, occasionally get a disease, and pox will grow on their lower abdomen."
"That pox is actually the same strain as smallpox... No, what I mean is that cowpox and smallpox are the same disease."
"The difference is that the symptoms of cowpox are much milder than those of smallpox."
"As long as someone has had cowpox, then they will be immune to smallpox for life..."
"So what that means is that people who have had cowpox can never get smallpox again, that's what it means."
After such an explanation, Zhu Xuntao was so nervous that she almost bit her tongue.
There was no way, she was used to modern terms when explaining vaccinations.
She didn't know how to say the Great Yong Dynasty.
Even if she made it up, it would still sound confusing.
"Xi Ruo, let me tell you the truth. I had cowpox with Qiuyue when I was young, so I won't get smallpox at all."
She had experience using cowpox as a smallpox vaccine.
She and Qiuyue were two living examples.
Zhu Xuntao had only heard about the development history of the smallpox vaccine, but as
a layman, she definitely had no idea how to make it and how to extract the vaccine.
In order not to be afraid of smallpox and not to lose her life, the little Zhu Xuntao took the equally little Qiuyue and used the dumbest method.
Qiuyue, who had been accompanying Zhu Xuntao to take care of Xiao Chenliang in the past few days,
immediately picked up the topic with fresh memories when she heard Zhu Xuntao mention the past: "I still remember it!"
"That year, I had just been picked up by the Crown Princess and the old man for less than two years. I suddenly mentioned smallpox to the Crown Princess and said it was terrible."
"The Crown Princess asked me if I didn't want to get smallpox. I replied that I wanted to live."
"The Crown Princess said that it's good to be alive, so let's live together."
"After that, the Crown Princess has been hanging around a few cows in the countryside."
"I don't know how the Crown Princess picked the cows. After selecting a batch, she begged the old man to buy the cow..."
Speaking of this, Qiuyue couldn't help but frowning,
"It was also from that day that the Crown Princess pulled me to touch the cow's belly every day."
"Later, blisters appeared on the hands of the slave and the Crown Prince's wife!!!"
Qiuyue is still shocked today.
Isn't it just touching a cow's belly? How could blisters appear on the hands? !
Moreover, they touched the cow's belly with the palm of their hands, but the blisters appeared on the back of their hands.
It's amazing...
These are all the dark histories of Zhu Xuntao. Although Zhu Xuntao was embarrassed to the point that she could dig out a three-bedroom and two-living room house,
she did not stop Qiuyue, otherwise how could Yang Xiruo accept Xiao Chenliang's practice of vaccinating.
"But..."
Qiuyue naturally heard what Zhu Xuntao and Yang Xiruo said just now.
What she didn't understand was that they had never had smallpox. They just had blisters that time, and then they wouldn't have smallpox?
Really?
As for whether she would get smallpox again, neither Zhu Xuntao nor Qiuyue had verified it themselves.
Qiuyue believed in Zhu Xuntao, but she was worried that Yang Xiruo thought Zhu Xuntao's method was unreliable.
"Don't say it, sister-in-law, I believe you."
Even though Zhu Xuntao had not verified whether she would not get smallpox again after having had cowpox,
Yang Xiruo was willing to believe that all this was true.
It had been so long, and Yang Xiruo had of course analyzed that Zhu Xuntao, the sister-in-law, came from another special and magical world.
It was because of this that Zhu Xuntao was so magical, as if he knew everything and knew a little bit about everything.
