---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary

Blains - Occurs only in connection with the sixth plague of Egypt (Exodus 9:9 - 9:10). In Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:35, 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.
