If You Think the Flu is Bad...
...try battling the bubonic plague, as did one of the vampires claimed to have done in Bryony.
According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubonic_plague, symptoms first occured two to five days after exposure and included:
* Chills
* General ill feeling (malaise)
* High fever
* Muscle pain
* Severe headache
* Seizures
* Smooth, painful lymph gland swelling called a bubo. These may be found in the groin, but may occur in the armpits or neck, most often at the site of the initial infection (bite or scratch). Pain may occur in the area before the swelling appears
* Heavy breathing
* Continuous blood vomiting
* Urination of blood
* Aching limbs
* Coughing
* Extreme pain. The pain is usually caused by the decaying or decomposing of the skin while the victim is still alive
* Extreme tiredness
* Gastrointestinal problems
* Lenticulae (black dots scattered throughout the body)
* Delirium
* Coma
Chicken soup, which helped Melissa when she was sick, won't fix this one. Which is worse, the bite of an infected rodent or the same from a vampire?
