“POCK” на російській мові

My pock had become so sore and troublesome ’, soldier Lemuel Roberts recalled, ‘that my clothes stuck fast to my body, especially to my feet; and it became a severe trial to my fortitude, to bear my disorder’.

Those infected, remain contagious until the last pock falls off - about 21 days.

The lesions resemble small pocks - tiny, pus-filled blisters most prominent on the face, arms and legs.

At Bury St Edmunds, Faith Wilson told her neighbour in 1619 to ‘pull up your muffler higher and hide your pocky face’.

Their sides were pocked and scarred.
