Here’s The Truth Behind This Scar On People’s Upper Left Arm

Smallpox, a deadly viral infection, caused severe fever and skin rashes,

claiming 3 out of 10 lives and leaving survivors with scars. The variola virus

was responsible, and scientists developed a vaccine using the related vaccinia

virus. This vaccine spurred immune responses that led to smallpox’s eradication

by the early 1950s. A smallpox vaccine scar, often round or oblong, resulted from

an invasive bifurcated needle used to deliver the vaccine. This method caused scabbing,and as the body healed, a noticeable scar remained, marking the immune response to the vaccine
