Of all the diseases ever suffered by humans, smallpox is the only one to be completely eradicated from the face of the Earth. The few known remaining samples are under heavy guard in research labs in Russia and the United States.

Yes, smallpox can be diagnosed, but this disease was completely eradicated in the 1960s and 1970s through a worldwide vaccination program. In 1979, after two years without a single reported case of the disease anywhere in the world, all but a few very small laboratory stocks of the vaccine-producing virus were destroyed.

To contract smallpox today, it is believed you would have to come into contact with one of these 4 or 5 laboratory stocks since the virus is completely nonexistant elsewhere.

If you believe you have smallpox (or anything similar) you should consult a doctor. If you do have smallpox, you are a genuine rarity. A more likely possibility is chicken pox, but this too should be treated immediately.
