Question

In Chapter 9 of the Bible, in the book of Exodus, the sixth plague of Egypt is described in this way: “Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ‘Take double handful soot from a furnace, and in the presence of Pharaoh, let Moses scatter it toward the sky. It will then turn into a fine dust over the whole land of Egypt and cause festering boils on man and cattle throughout the land’”. Which bacterial disease is possibly being described?
