variolization
Variolization is an early method of immunization, or protection against smallpox, by exposing an individual to the virus in a controlled way to induce a mild form of the disease and subsequent immunity. The process involves inserting or rubbing powdered smallpox scabs or fluid from pustules into superficial scratches made on the skin. Variolization was practiced before the development of the smallpox vaccine by Edward Jenner in the late 18th century.
