Damnit, I thought I was helping by making a table for the fictional diseases. But it turns out the table ends up on the bottom of the page.

I'm terribly sorry, guys.

(EDIT) I (finally) created an account and already tackled the problem.

Sonic Diarrhea

It can be said that Sonic Diarrhea (which Turanga Leela is made to sign a waiver for in the second episode of Futurama) is not a fictional disease; it can be associated with the infamous brown note, with exaggerated (in this case, deadly) results. Kewlio 03:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Red Water

Red Water Poisoning from Fullmetal Alchemist is a poison, not an bacterial/viral disease. It was already listed in the list of fictional toxins, so I removed it.

ahh i messed the page all up I was trying to add the vampire disease thingy from the elder scrolls games

Rom65536

Should also contain a listing for "Beaver Fever", from the "Ren and Stimpy Show" episode "The Great Outdoors". It was a water-borne disease that caused those afflicted to turn into beavers. Typically caused by drinking water in which "beavers do their business". Not the same as the real disease "Beaver Fever".

Black Breath?

Wasn't this a sort of illness? From Lord of the Rings, Éowyn and Merry both have it until Aragorn heals them. Is this something that could be added? Morhange 04:50, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Never Nude

Tobias, from Arrested Development does NOT have a fictional disease, he has Gymnophobia... Gymnophobia is an irrational, abnormal and persistent fear or anxiety about being seen naked, and/or about seeing others naked, even when it is socially acceptable. Gymnophobes may experience their fear of nudity before all people, or only certain people.

Bulgaria

In an episode of Married... with Children, Kelly Bundy pretends she is ill having caught the disease Bulgaria. __meco 00:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Footballitis

During the 2002 FIFA World Cup, there were commercials by Adidas featuring this new 'disease' called footballitis. Would this be considered for this article, even though it is just from a television commercial? Any thoughts? Eclipsed soul 19:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC}

Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome

Wouldn't this be a possible candidate for this article? Maria Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog series has this syndrome. Even in her article, it states it's a fictional illness. Eclipsed soul 19:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC}

Sexual Interations?

In the S.T.O.R.M.S. entry, I don't think there's any such phrase as 'sexual interations.' ... I think the gist of what they intended has to do with gradual cross-breeding between robots, mutants, etc.

Antiheat

The effect of a human cold virus on members of Heat Blast's fire-based species. Changes their fire powers to ice. Not actually named in the episode.

Where is it named Antiheat in the list, then? If there's another valid source for the name that's fine, I just want to avoid fan creations. JayMars 15:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be renamed "Common cold," but I'm a lazy man. Teflon Don 08:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bloaty Head, Invisibility, Alien DNA, King Complex

Fictional diseases from Theme Hospital - added to the list. There's a whole swathe of diseases in this game that would apply here, each with their own description: especially "Slack Tongue", caused by "chronic overdiscussion of soap operas" which causes the patient's tongue to swell...

New categories

I'm noticing a lot of diseases in the wrong categories (Flictonic Clipple Waver Syndrome comes to mind). Moreover, quite a lot of diseases on this list come from Star Trek, Star Wars, and other space-opera type shows. I'm considering reorganizing this list in order to clean up the first issue; in the process, I think I might make another category for extraterrestrial diseases. Does anyone have any objections? It's not like I'd do this tomorrow or anything; just when I feel like it. Teflon Don 08:54, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also have noticed the seemingly random placement of Star Trek diseases. ʐ

Psychiatric "Diseases"

I would add: psychosis, neurosis, scitzophrenia, attention surplus hypoactivity disorder, adhd, and manic depression. Psychology is chuck-full of mythical disease. In addition, there must be older inaccurate diseases, I was thinking of "dropsy" but I think that is just an old name for an actual condition. TedHuntington 16:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
