its one of the most horrible diseases! it was taken care of back in the day, but to only convert it into a biological weapon. Now a days they dont give vaccines for it. So being able to catch it and pass it on is as easy as 123. Its highly contageous!

Smallpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the smallpox virus, an orthopoxvirus. It causes death in up to 30%. Indigenous infection has been eradicated. The main concern for outbreaks is from bioterrorism. Severe constitutional symptoms and a characteristic pustular rash develop. Treatment is supportive. Prevention involves vaccination, which, because of its risks, is performed selectively.
Please see the web pages for more details and images on Smallpox.

It's a disease that killed a lot of people. It isn't really around anymore. People used to get horrible scars from the boils.
