I liked it, but this is quite simple really. A sick person will have pale skin and sunken eyes. The face will appear elongated because of the lack of tissue around the skull and hair loss. Sharp teeth is simple-predator. Sick people could spread disease to the rest of the tribe so it would make sense to be afraid of them in an ancient society.

When you think about it, this also describes a skull pretty well-another symbol of death. Death=danger. Pale bone, sunken in eye sockets and the teeth are showing.
