First, you swallow the baby worm with dirty water, at which point it happily chills out in your digestive tract for a year, before metamorphosing into something much nastier. It then migrates to a limb — usually a food — and forms a large and incredibly painful blister. You know how they get it out? They fish out one end, and pull it out slowly over the course of days or weeks of agony. You try and pull it out too fast, and it snaps, recoiling into the body to live again. You have to feel sorry for the sufferers of Trimethylaminuria or fish odor syndrome. It’s exactly what it sounds like — a permanent pathological scent of rotting fish clings to your body. It’s actually linked to your metabolism, which interferes with the body’s ability to break down break down trimethylamine — which builds up and is excreted through saliva, sweat and urine. And that stuff stinks bad! It’s incurable, recessive, and still around. I suppose at that point, you might as well become a fishmonger, and just blame it on the business. Cancrum Oris, commonly called Noma, is gangrene of the face, and for some reason it seems to hit kids more often than adults. More than 80% of those affected by the disease die, as it eats away at the tissue and musculature around their jaws. What causes it? It’s an opportunistic infection that likes to hop on board in situations where people are malnourished, have unclean drinking water, poor dental hygiene, and live in close proximity to farm animals. So pretty much anywhere unconscionably poor. What’s even worse is that it’s especially prevalent in the immuno-compromised, like HIV+ kids growing up in southern Africa. Ain’t life grand? Okay, what does fecal vomiting sound like it is? Congratulations, you’re right. There are situations where you will literally vomit up fecal matter. How fun is that? What usually happens is that there’s an intestinal block of some kind, so the mushed up food can’t go all the way through the system. Instead it starts to back up, slowly pushing its way back into the stomach, where your body tries to get rid of it. And the only way out is up. You vomit up stuff that isn’t technically feces, but smells (and I bet tastes) exactly the same, because it’s partly digested food stuffs. Yay, the body.
