Smallpox

Smallpox was a mundane infectious disease. It was regarded as one of the most dangerous non-magical diseases.
==Effects==
Sufferers' skin became covered in pockmarks, not unlike the scars left by the spotted plague. The disease was fatal if left untreated.
==Treatment==
It was possible to treat smallpox by non-magical means, although such care often took as many as 12 days and required thrice daily ingestion of dangerously potent herbs as well as frequent observation by a healer. Such services were offered at Mother's Cupboard, an apothecary in Raven's Bluff, who treated diseases of those who wished to avoid temples. The proprietor, "Mother" Josselyn Phelia, charged 50 gp per day of care as of the mid-to-late 14 century DR.
The halflings of Luiren had developed a special skill of medicinal cooking that involved making curative foods using Luiren spring cheese, and experienced cooks knew how to prepare meals that could cure many otherwise fatal normal diseases, including smallpox.
