If this doesn't kill you, I don't know what else would. Looking back on what Medieval Europe went through, it's hard to not take modern medicine for granted.

Not one of the most pleasant but not one you hear about that often. But it is awake up call when it does happen.

A highly infectious disease, the black plague singlehandedly wiped out one- to two-thirds of Europe's population in the Middle Ages, undergoing a slow extinction until around the eighteenth century. It arrived in three forms, bubonic and pneumonic and septicaemic, the first of which had an 80% mortality rate, the second of which had a 90-95% mortality rate, and the third of which was always fatal. Bubonic plague caused oozing, bleeding sores as well as severe flu-like symptoms, pneumonic plague caused its victims to hemorrhage from the lungs, and septiceamic plague caused more systemic internal bleeding. We've been lulled into a false sense of security that the plague has been wiped out, but cases of it still occur, even in industrialized nations, and modern treatment can't always prevent death.
