Sounds like I need to do some research  Smiley But I did see smallpox mentioned as an old disease that could come back.

But will check and report back.




Its difficult since essentially smallpox is a virus that only infects humans. There no zoonotic transmission.
There are two stocks of smallpox in the US and RUssia and both countries have resisted attempts to destroy the stocks.

However there has been some evidence to suggest that you could GE a smallpox virus



The smallpox vaccination is actually cow pox. Should be that hard to find and resurrect, but I doubt they got rid of the vaccination.



Umm it used to be cow pox, later they used vaccinia virus, similar to cow pox and small pox.

I got my childhood vaccinations in Holland, no idea if smallpox was included.




If it was before the 80s, probably.do you have a scar on your upper arm? Round in shape?
