If you think it LOOKS bad, wait til you here how you die from it: in severe cases, the blisters merge into sheets, which begin to detach the outer layers of skin from the underlying flesh. The skin slips off in sheets. The virus destroys the linings of the throat, the stomach, the intestines, the rectum, and the vagina, and these membranes disintegrate. Fatal smallpox can destroy the body's entire skin -- both the exterior skin and the interior skin that lines the passages of the body.
The real reason it's so bad though, is that while most diseases are highly contagious but mild, (the common cold) or deadly but hard to catch (HIV) smallpox kills about 1 in 3 people who catch it, but can be spread very easily through the air.

If your brain is good at imagery, I don't recommend it xD
