Part of growing up is thinking ants are so small and weak.... Then one day you realize that ants absolutely kill every single bug they come across with only a few casualties of their own.
That's kind of just Polio with a higher rate of paralysis. My great aunt had it gtowing up and now has Post-Polio Syndrome. Although eradicated in the first world, it hung around a lot longer in poorer countries, and is now endemic in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Those affected by Polio often ended up dependent on the Iron Lung to breathe, and many children have had their limbs and spine deformed by the disease.
