Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Those innoculations are very scary if you ask me. My boyfriend went to the Persian Gulf. Maybe starting in Jan/Feb they started giving them shots of so many different things. The small pox one was the scariest for me. The bandage had to stay on for 30 days. He couldn't touch it for that amount of time. It made him achy and swole his joints. He had side effects from all the different ones. I was afraid to be around him. He even couldn't get it wet in the shower. A guy on his base didn't take enough precautions, must have touched the spot and rubbed his eye and ended up with smallpox in his eye. I never found out what happened to him. My friend said that he disappeared from base and they never found out what they did with him, before the rest of the units shipped out to the Gulf.
