Informative and educating. I searched the topic and simply found out what I wanted to know. Thank you. Hope you don't let the haters bring you down. Now I know the number one disease, it's actually a combination of three separate pandemics that still seem to thrive and exist to this day. It actually gets stronger every day and ruins numerous lives by the second. First came the politicians, they made all the rules and kept people in there places. Second came the lawyers, they found a way to manipulate the rules so you couldn't do anything involving finaces without them. Third, the poachers of the big three. They will prey on the rich and also have no problem ruining the lives of the poor. The "insurance companies" Now this pandemic is the youngest of the three but will prove to be the deadliest.

The worst is the hemorrhagic form developed by the Russians. It is 100% fatal. Kills before there is a rash on the body (maybe in the mouth only). If a rash develops, the bumps look all alike,( i.e. are synchronized). It is a terrible disease in that it kills a lot of children. About 17% of the Scandinavian and 2% of the US population are missing the cd4 and ck5 cell receptors so they are highly resistant to contracting smallpox (or aids for that matter). The 1918 flu epidemic was a dual epidemic of TB and flu combined. That scenario is not likely to reoccur. The flu caused a rapid drop in white cell count followed by a severe and rapid septicemia from the TB tubercles. This was before the age of antibiotics. Thus, after the 1918 epidemic, the number of TB cases were known to have dropped dramatically. Here is some additional information concerning the Smallpox and

I would say the worst disease known to mankind is Fatal Familial Insomnia. It's genetic and very rare but it would be the worst way to die. Look it up, it's truly horrid.
