What diseases (Rare or not) that you know, you think that they are really bizarre/creepy/strange?
For me it is Necrotizing Fasciitis, Mucormycosis and Herpes (My mom has the last one, and it affects the mouth).

There are two types of herpes, actually. Type 1 affects the mouth and are more commonly known as cold sores. Type 2 is the nasty, evil genital kind.

Wheelman is right. My mom has Type 1. It's pretty scary (Not as much as Necrotizing fasciitis, but still).

I don't think that's a real disease, unless it happens to be a colloquial term for a real disease.

Yes, its a serious problem here in the UK caused by men having their way with pigs which were infected with the deadly H5N1 virus (bird flu). These men then passed on man flu when they met at pig farming meetings and then I went to one to buy some pork and now i have man flu; some doctors think I might not pull through:
