The first symptoms of smallpox usually appear 12 to 14 days after infection.
Following the incubation period The period of time between the infection of an individual by a disease-causing agent and the manifestation of the disease it causes., a sudden onset of flu-like symptoms occurs. These symptoms include fever, malaise An indefinite feeling of debility or lack of health often indicative of or accompanying the onset of an illness., headache, severe fatigue and severe back pain.
A few days later, the characteristic smallpox rash appears as flat, red spots (lesions An abnormal change in structure of an organ or part due to injury or disease; especially one that is circumscribed and well defined.).
Within a day or two, these lesions become filled with clear fluid (vesicles A small abnormal elevation of the outer layer of skin enclosing a watery liquid) and then with pus (pustules A small circumscribed elevation of the skin containing pus and having an inflamed base.). The lesions appear first on your face, hands and forearms and later on the trunk. They're especially prominent on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. Lesions also develop in the mucous membranes of your nose and mouth. The way the lesions are distributed is a hallmark of smallpox and a primary way of diagnosing the disease.
Dude seal the house and call the CDC. This is gonna be worse then the bird flu =/

The liquid coming out is just pus aka serum. Its not a huge deal. But if the blisters/bruises are quite large and you keep excreting pus, I would say go to a doctor. For now, just keep washing with soap, and maybe wrap up your hands with something. It is nothing serious.

Serum =/= Pus. Just because there is serum does not mean it is purulent. Pus is usually a collection of lymphocytes esp. neutrophils that do the phagocytosing of all the dead cells/bacteria when fighting an infection. It is usually thick like what you get when popping a zit, not watery like he described.

LOL. Did you copy this out of some medical dictionary. Pus comes in different forms, it can sometimes be watery. Anyway, what do you suggest it is? It cant be anything else. The body does not produce other products that would collect in the hands. Unless somebody filled up a balloon with some other liquid and placed it in his hands, it is pus.
