    The old lady has one that flares up on her hand. Usually at tailing/docking time. I think she started it when she accidentally scratched herself with scabine.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Looks orfish. Here's some links to articles that discuss the virus. A bit technical though!

    Parapoxvirus Infections of Red Deer, Italy - Vol. 17 No. 4 - April 2011 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal - CDC

    Parapoxvirus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    “For us hunting wasn’t a sport. It was a way to be intimate with nature, that intimacy providing us with wild unprocessed food free from pesticides and hormones and with the bonus of having been produced without the addition of great quantities of fossil fuel. . . . . . . . We lived close to the animals we ate. We knew their habits and that knowledge deepened our thanks to them and the land that made them.”
