so like, the underworld/the pit/hell? is a completely different plane of existence and has a different microbiome so what if when the mortem doors open up [or there's a rift and another way to get out of the underworld] there's a disease that spreads to the living, since their immune systems aren't used to it?

symptoms could be making the afflicted look/act like a corpse [pale skin, v. slow breathing and heartbeat, blue lips, etc.] or like their body starts to decay [gross but still an idea]?
