Smallpox significantly impacted daily life during its existence, causing widespread illness and high mortality rates. Those infected suffered from fever, body aches, and distinct pustular rashes, often leading to long-term health complications or death. The disease also instilled fear in communities, leading to quarantine measures and disruptions in social and economic activities. The global eradication of smallpox in 1980 has since eliminated these concerns, allowing for improved public health and greater focus on other health challenges.
