a freckled spot
|
|
"The word bohak, from the Syriac behak, to be white, or shining, here rendered ""a freckled spot,"" is used by the Arabs to denote a kind of leprosy, of which Niebuhr says, "" Bohak is neither contagious nor dangerous. A black boy at Mocha, who was affected with this eruption, had here and there upon his body white spots. We were told that the use of sulphur had relieved this boy for a time, but had not entirely removed the disease."" He adds subsequently from Forskal's papers, ""The Arabs call a sort of leprosy, in which some little spots shew themselves here and there on the body, behaq; and it is without doubt the same as is named bohak, (Lev 13). They believe it to be so far from contagious, that one may sleep with a person affected without danger."" ""On the 15th day of May, 1765, I myself first saw the Bohak leprosy in a Jew at Mocha. The spots in this disease are of an unequal size. They do not shine; are not perceptibly higher than the skin; and do not change the colour of the hair. Their colour is an obscure" |
