Polio. I was just reading about a doctor who was the virst to test the then new vaccine, in the early 1950's.
Fifty thousand children would be paralyzed, with no warning symptoms, every summer. It was the Polio virus causing it.

Polio most often struck children who lived in big cities where they spent the long-hot summers in swimming pools, where the virus could spread easily.
I'm glad I found your topic again! I tried using the search box at top left corner to find you and it won't deliver members posts.

Dysentery. It's when you drink contaminated water and then you sh*t your guts out. Literally. Obviously I've never had it cause in most cases it will kill you.

I'd have to say the Black Plague of the middle ages. That wiped out over half of the world's population. Although cancer, HIV and other diseases have had devastating effects, they don't being to kill that many people. Now they talk about a pandemic on the news like it was inevitable. I can't imagine how people deal with something like that.

The worst disease i can think of is smallpox, it is one of those diseases that is hard to detect, highly contagious and is lethal in almost all cases without the vaccination, but it is very easily curable now thanks to modern medicine.

For me,Paralysis is the most dreaded
disease for me. You are sure you won't
die soon. But as long as you live, you
have to depend on others for your daily
chores. I feel it is riduculous.
