Which horrible affliction are you?
Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 12:11 PM by dolo amber
I'm rabies!! :bounce:

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!

2. I'm the Plague
which is all right with me.

Which Horrible Affliction are you?

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.

If you wish, you can proudly tell the world that you wiped out much of the human population of the Earth hundreds of years ago with the following fine graphi

Did Riley from Buffy the Vampire Slayer do it for you?

No! He's too simplistic. He's a Regan Democrat. :P

41. Riley was in Season 4
He worked for the para-military deamon-hunting Initiative.

Rather simplistic world view where all daemons are bad and must be killed or brought into Initiative control.

or is that a different group.
When you are watching it on re-runs like I sometimes do, it is hard to know what season it is.

She realized a little too late that he really was a great guy afterall, if a bit of a dullard.

Edit: I really enjoy watching the FX reruns on Weekday mornings. 2 hours of Buffy every day! :bounce: Wheeee!

25. Congratulations, you're rickets!
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.

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

31. Ebola
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:

40. It Says... "Congratulations, you're gonorrhea!"
Congratulations, you're gonorrhea!

Yeah, that's right. You're a sexually transmitted disease. And it gets worse: you're curable.

But fret not, my fine infectious friend; you have a fine array of symptoms associated with you that would make even rabies flinch.

Women suffer bleeding during vaginal intercourse, a burning sensation when they pee, and a delightful womanly discharge that comes in yellow muck or blood flavours. Men get to have a whole lot of pus coming from their penis. What's more, you can be passed to babies as they're being born, and cause them to go blind! That's how cool you are!
