- Fishn2, on 07/02/2008, -3/+21We could destroy a few of these diseases by killing all the mosquitos.
I for one would not be against the decimation of the little bastards. - dylio, on 07/02/2008, -0/+13More reason for me to never leave my house.
- mag7, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1011. E-Douchebag Virus
- somedirtbag, on 07/03/2008, -0/+9Buried for *****.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -1/+10no mosquitoes? Say goodbye to a fair number of bat and bird species. Then say goodbye to those who predate on them.
- RobotKeaton, on 07/03/2008, -1/+9Cholera should be number, if for no other reason than the fact that it routinely slows down my Oregon Trail game.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -0/+8Don't demonize diseases. They keep the world population in check.
- yellowraven, on 07/03/2008, -0/+8they forgot cooties
- thebza451, on 07/03/2008, -2/+9LIKE ME OM NOM NOM NOM
- billbugger, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7anyone know a good (credible) resource for explaining the positive impact the mosiquito has on this planet?
- anagoge, on 07/03/2008, -2/+10Personally, I believe the most life threatening illness is Interneticus Disconnecticus.
- keviniskool, on 07/03/2008, -1/+7Buried for 10 different pages that have to be accessed by clicking another link after reading the summary.
- zerhynn, on 07/03/2008, -0/+6By god, we're in for a *****. Somebody better call Morgan Freeman.
- rz8472, on 07/03/2008, -1/+6It's only a matter of time that H5N1 crosses the species barrier into humans. Meanwhile, Viagra production is at full capacity and stronger than ever, so at least when we're dead, we'll know that some of us went down with priapisms.
- Haoie, on 07/03/2008, -0/+4With the world globablised as it is, it wouldn't be unthought of for an especially contagious disease to spread to many countries in a matter of days.
Still, why worry about the sky falling? - alternateheaven, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3I'm more worried about something we have a known functional vaccine for that we no longer give to the populace: Smallpox. At this point in time were there to be an outbreak of it the population would be seriously ravaged before the CDC could mobilize to do anything about it.
- Beanbones, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3Overall, a good read. Featured some of my all-time favorite diseases.
Reading about this stuff always stirs a kind of morbid fascination. - pudds, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3Slideshows blow.
- breckinshire, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3The silent killer!
- filmbandit, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3no.
how about you launch the gallery and GTFO - Khast, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3This is one list you definitely don't want to collect them all.
- Pinkertinkle, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2The real list topper should be:
#1 obesity - BIGHED, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2I think we should all be thankful that Zombification is not on that list.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Yet somehow I'm still not worried.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2That's the idea.

http://www.popsci.com/scitech/gallery/2008-07/dise ... - billbugger, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2e. coli (a stain of it) is found naturally in your stomach and helps digest food.
- opticwind, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Ever notice how the population that's being "checked" is the one NOT taking up natural resources as if there was no tomorrow?
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Pure gold sir.
- GeckoSlayer, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2It is widely known to be transmittable through social websites known as "myspace" and "facebook"
- dunnylovehun, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3DUGG! For Wire Season 4 reference
- redneckblues, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3It's harder to spread HIV. Most Diggers are safe.
- BIGHED, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2You've died of Dysentary.
- greenfyre, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1http://www.gigglemoose.com/artcl-blackflybenefits. ...
Sierra Leone and Uganda both have a medal "The Order of The Mosquito" to recognize it's role in keeping the white man out.
Given the 10 million enslaved and 15 to 45 million murdered in the Congo region you can see their point. - ajkrik, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Number 3 is hilarious! SARS dresses in pink?
- opticwind, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Then go off yourself and do the world proud. Or, you're a hypocrite.
- InvisibleInk, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1This list makes me sick.
- LansingSterling, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1thanks to vaccines, WHO the list could of been longer.
- greenfyre, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Ecosystems are complex beasts; the multiple interedependancies and feedbacks mean that the consequences of that sort of action are highly unpredictable, and usually not good.
- Niightwitch, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1It's found in your large intestine, the lower bowel, not your stomach.
- soulonfire928, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1I always love to read about infectious diseases...Ebola and the Black Death being my favorites to read about and study.
Morbid, I know. Fascinating nonetheless. - kevin726, on 07/03/2008, -1/+2FEARMONGERS
- vroom101, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1In pictures...

2. Marburg virus: http://chamorrobible.org/gpw/gpw-20050429.htm
3. Yersinia pestis bacteria + others: http://chamorrobible.org/gpw/gpw-20040801.htm - bixby1, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1The bacteria is outpacing our ability to combat it? That cannot be a good thing.
- Niightwitch, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1What else would you prefer them monger if not fear?
- sysop073, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1It's a good thing we have Digg to keep us company
- PizzaPops, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1or Gordon Freeman.
- jendel, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0her we go again, save your self
- opticwind, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1It's impossible with DDT banned. Yes, it has ecological dangers, but when millions of people are dying I think drastic measures might just be needed.
