A 15-year-old boy has surprised doctors by contracting cowpox, a historical disease now so rare it has not been seen in Wales for more than a decade.

Full story at the BBC with a couple of photo's. Don't worry they are not 'icky

If anything the pictures are not brilliant and the location of sores on the hands and ankles makes it look like some allergic reaction to insect bites. Probably never see another case but it's something to file away in the back brain.
