Public health advice on infection risks from smallpox and scarlet fever
Dr H Jacobson of St Louis explains that clothing does not spread smallpox because air acts as a disinfectant and transmission requires prolonged contact with patient bedding and clothing. Scarlet fever poses infection risk even from brief contact during desquamation, with kissing spreading sore throat and diphtheria. Individual predisposition also affects disease susceptibility.
