Yeah Kuru was the first spongy encephalopathy ever discovered. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (aka mad cow disease), and about 5 other diseases are all prion diseases.

I have to agree with smallpox, epidemic diseases are another of my favorites. They have had such an impact on the development of the human species. I really should get my premed stuff and go into medical anthropology you know. Nah I will stick with archaeology.

Stay chooned in for more!
Necrotizing Fasciitis, no doubt my favorite. It's so horrible and disgusting that it's awesome.
Here's a mild one. I can't post links to the worst of them because those have nudity and would violate the rules. That's the REALLY horrible stuff.

COME ON!!!! Everyone has a favorite disease/virus!!!
just think of the one that's mostly impacted your life. It could be as simple as the common cold to as complex and confusing as those piron thingys.

Herpes simplex 2.
Just kidding. The one that's affected me the worst is chronic bronchitis. I get it chronically AND bronchially.
What am I thinking? I'm forgetting a pretty cool disease I have. I prefer the word "affliction" myself. Sounds so dramatic. I've got Hashimoto's disease. That just means I've got hypothyroidism (NO I do not have a goiter or anything weird) and my body attacks my own thyroid. It's an autoimmune disease but I take a hormone everyday and it's not an issue in the slightest. Really lol, It causes no problems but if I didn't take it I'd drink too much water, sleep all day, stay cold all the time and gain a little weight.
Hormones are fun. Hurray Synthroid!
