Join Jolene Sugarbaker inside The Trailer Park Rumpus Room as she talks about Weird News!

In today's episode, Jolene talks about a Virginia Museum that was going to put a "Scab" on display.

Apparently a scab from 1831 was included in a letter from a Father to his Son, it was hoped by the Father the scab could inoculate the Son against Smallpox.

The Virginia Museum was all ready to put it up on Display, but come to find out, Scabs can stay infectious for years later!

The CDC swooped in and grabbed the infected scab, scurrying it away so no museum goer would ever see it....

Later they used Moon Suits to test the scab for the infectious disease Smallpox.

It was found to have the virus from the vaccine, but not the actual virus.

By the way, the news reports the CDC removed it into a case, and then put it in the trunk of their car for a 9 hour ride. 

Who knew our trunks were containment devices for deadly diseases?
