Smallpox
Science:
Smallpox are a rash on your body that turns into small bumps. After the small bumps appear they will turn into larger bumps and the final step of it caused crater like marks in the persons body. It was discovered back in the 1700's by Dr. Jenner. The way he discovered it was he injected a small boy with cowpox just to see what would happen and the result was the boy conducted the cowpox which was just renamed smallpox for humans.
Society:
Smallpox now has been completely eliminated but when it was a thing some of the ways they thought of curing it was to actually get rid of the small bumps before they enlarged. This method sort of just cut out the middle man because the people were left with crater like wounds on their bodies anyway.
Self:
Well theres not much to say I don't have smallpox and I don't plan on making it a thing again.
