There's no way this is actually called lumpy skin disease

An outbreak of lumpy skin disease (which affects bovine species) was first reported in July of 2007, however the outbreak has been ongoing since that time. Seven different outbreaks have been identified within a 10-km zone around the northern part of the Palestinian Gaza Strip. Vaccination with live attenuated sheep pox vaccine is thought to help control outbreaks, which is SO COOL! Read more about this weird disease at:
