Hypertext Webster Gateway: "blains"
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary (easton)
Blains
occurs only in connection with the sixth plague of Egypt (Ex.
9:9, 10). In Deut. 28:27, 35, it is called "the botch of Egypt."
It seems to have been the fearful disease of black leprosy, a
kind of elephantiasis, producing burning ulcers.
