Congratulations, you're rickets!(sweet)

Caused by insufficient phosphorous, vitamin D and/or sunlight, you cause those unlucky enough to suffer you to have swelling in the joints, and bending of the longer bones (such as those found in the legs) in growing children.(stupid bones getting what they deserve)

You're not very prevalent in affluent societies any more - but don't worry, there's always the third world!(oklahoma)

Congratulations, you're rabies!

Transmitted by rabid animals, you're most commonly found infecting creatures such as raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes. But don't worry, you affect humans too, causing either paralysis or hyperactivity in your advanced stages, and ultimately death.

Your most famous symptom is hypersalviation - that delightful foaming at the mouth that we have come to know and indeed love. However, you can also cause hallucination; think of the fun you could have at parties!

WOW! I'm the reason they killed Old Yeller!!!!!

You start, innocently enough, with a headache; a fever; chills. Nothing special. Might as well be the flu. But that is only the beginning.

You move on through the unpleasant symptoms list, inducing vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. You start to shut down the kidney and liver, and start to cause bleeding both internally and externally, with little or no clotting. Finally, the patient crashes and bleeds out, in a veritable explosion of blood. Anyone who has contact with that blood, or any of the patient's body fluids while s/he is infected, is also liable to get you. Now that's what I'm talking about!

If you wish, you can proudly tell the world that it could only take forty eight hours to infect everybody in the developed world with the following fine graphic:

Rabies is going around in the Southwest again, I hear. They are warning people about skunks, coyotes and bats here in Phoenix.

Rabies rules the day!

I for one, sure as heck hope that I will never have the opportunity, nor necessity, to have to Recognize Gonorrhea or it's disgusting, dirty symptoms...

Quote:

When women have symptoms, the first ones may include

* Bleeding associated with vaginal intercourse
* Painful or burning sensations when urinating
* Yellow or bloody vaginal discharge
More advanced symptoms, which may indicate development of PID, include cramps and pain, bleeding between menstrual periods, vomiting, or fever.

Men have symptoms more often than women, including

* White, yellow, or green pus from the penis with pain
* Burning sensations during urination that may be severe
* Swollen testicles

Symptoms of rectal infection include discharge, anal itching, and occasional painful bowel movements with fresh blood in the feces. Symptoms typically appear 2 to 5 days after infection but could appear as long as 30 days.

I am rickets - though the symptoms listed are unlike the ones I actually cause. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

My favorite disease ever is Ebola! When I was a TA at Virginia Tech, a few of my favorite students did a research project/ presentation on Ebola. They went way over time, did much more work than required, and one of them even drew numerous posters to illustrate the progressive results of contracting ebola. *shudder* It made quite the impression - probably because I had many of the early (flu-like) symptoms they discribed. Before I panicked and called for a doctor, I realized that I'd felt like I was dying for several days, and ebola would've put me out of my misery already.

I meant my favorite disease to study was ebola. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] You're never the same after such an encounter... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Congratulations, you're the bubonic plague!

You're infamous. You're usually deadly when left untreated. You're spread by a flea.

That's how cool you are.

I think it has something to do with Gonorrhea

grndmstr_c · 05-10-2005, 02:03 AM

Another rabies. Which is cool because I loved old yeller and was absolutely fascinated with that disease when I was a kid.

"Do you think that Adam Sandler is a funny man?
Yes
No"

I wonder if an aye here is related to rabies.
