through the Perote prison that fall.
The disease is a bacterial infection
spread by bites from body lice
and rat fleas. Scratching the bites
opens the skin, allowing greater

flu-like symptoms, including a
severe headache, highfever, chills,
dry cough, muscle and joint pain,
followed by a rash, delirium and
a coma.
