Symptom D: "In Paris, while some physicians also diagnosed cholera or dysentery, others interpreted the intensity and location of headache pain as typhoid. Deep into the epidemic Prisian physicians still remained reluctant to diagnose influenza. In Spain public health officials also declared that the complications were due to 'typhoid', which was 'general throughout Spain'.

But neither typhoid nor cholera, neither dengue nor yellow fever, neither plague nor tuberculosis, neither diptheria nor dysentery, could account for other symptoms. No known disease could.

In 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine', a British physician noted 'one thing I have never seen before--namely the occurrence of subcutaneous emphysema'--pockets of air accumulating just beneath the skin--'beginning in the neck and spreading sometimes over the whole body'"

Those pockets of air leaking through ruptured lungs made patients crackle when they were rolled onto their sides. One navy nurse later compared the sound to a bowl of rice krispies, and the memory of that sound was so vivid to her that for the rest of her life she could not tolerate being around anyone who was eating rice krispies".
