Will you post something that sounds worse phonetically than Necrotizing Fasciitis?
  There is no such ailment that sounds more menacing.
  Yeah, I know something with a far more menacing-sounding name.

Some diseases and conditions are terrible but their names don;t phonetically sound that bad. Like 'flu' and Crohn's Disease' and even 'tumor.'
To someone who doesn't speak the language, they don't sound that scary phonetically.

But some ailments just sound menacing just from the name. Can you name any?
I'll start:
-Necrotizing Fasciitis
-Ulcerative Colitis
-Tuberculosis

One that sounds okay ("I have it!" etc etc), but it's really horrible!
- Chagas disease.

And then we have Skin Necrosis. That's awful no matter how you look at it.

*ahem* Sorry.
Uh.... Dermatitis has a little bit of a rough phonetic sound to it...
Oh, and Schizophrenia, though that's quite a different ailment.

Uh, you should.. should probably make a thread about your re..return.
I... sorry, I'm ... I'm just distracted by Aharon's beautiful picture!

We can turn this thread into your return thread if you want, but "Illnesses that just sound scary" is probably not appropriate.
