On a spring morning in 1796, a young milkmaid in southwest England was taking a quick break from her duties.

She left the barn where she worked to take a stroll around the farm, and she noticed a bush

covered in beautiful pink roses. The milkmaid thought how nice the flowers would look inside of her

room, so she tore a blossom off its stem, and as she did, a thorn scratched the side of her hand. She gasped. The cut wasn't

deep, but it stung, and it was starting to bleed. It felt like an instant punishment for ignoring

her job. She shoved the flowers into the pocket of her dress, wiped the blood on her apron,

and quickly went back to work. She spent the day milking the cows and cleaning up the barn,

and she didn't think about the scratch again,

until the next morning when she woke up and felt her hand throbbing.

Right where the scratch had been, there was now a big, pus-filled sore.

The milkmaid's face went pale.

She'd never had a sore like this, but she knew people who had, and many of them

had gotten so sick that they died. The milkmaid jumped out of bed, ran to the farmer's house,

and begged him to send for a doctor.
