I don't think I even noticed I had one of these until my decade-younger boyfriend-cum-husband noticed mine when we were in bed early in our relationship -- it's on the back of my left arm -- but it's a small price to pay to have helped eradicate smallpox ... assuming it's not making a comeback in Brooklyn, etc.
Yes, and have scars from the childhood diseases where there were no vaccines back then. Also took the sugar cube as well.
ReplyDeleteI must have had some reaction when I got mine. I had a lump instead of an indention. I finally noticed a few years ago that it had disappeared.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness smallpox was eradicated or we’d likely be seeing kids coming down with that nowadays too.
