From ancient Egypt to the European settlers in North America, Smallpox travelled the world devastating populations wherever it was spread. While the virus was widespread, three out of every ten people infected would go on to die. Survivors of Smallpox would usually be disfigured, especially around the face, because of the rash and pox associated with the illness. In especially severe cases of the virus, blindness was known to occur. • Smallpox was extremely contagious, and it was spread through the air and through skin to skin contact. Smallpox was contagious long before symptoms appeared in a patient. It is for this reason, as well as the airborne nature associated with its contraction, that widespread pandemics of the Smallpox virus occurred. • Vaccination efforts began as early as the 1700s. While they achieved a modicum of success it was not until the 1950s when world efforts to eradicate Smallpox began to take hold. Now the virus has been eliminated, with a select few samples available to scientists for scientific study. The main concern relating to the modern world and Smallpox is its potential use as a terrorist weapon. • To learn more about Smallpox please watch this video presented by healthery.com. • This video is meant for educational purposes and is not medical advice. • Website: https://healthery.com/ • Facebook: / healthery
