Since so many people died during the various outbreaks of this disease, the most gruesome death would be someone (probably quite a few!) who suffered extreme symptoms before they died. The more severe symptoms appeared after a day or two when swellings sometimes the size of tennis balls appears in the lymph nodes, such as the groin, the neck and the armpit. These swellings then turned black, became infected and split, oozing blood, pus and other nasties. These swellings appeared internally too and caused severe internal bleeding and pain.

Regardless of the type, pretty nasty and painful to say the least!
