I think the scariest disease is rabies. People can also get rabies and when you do get it there is no cure. You apparently can't drink water. Your brain gets affected and you get spasms of the throat muscles and other sypmtoms. This can go on for more than 2 weeks. I think it is one of the most horrible diseases to die of.

You can get it from dogs and bats and also mongoose if you ever encounter them. I still like bats though. I even plan to built houses for them to breed in so they could catch all unwanted bugs around the house at night, especially the mosquito's

rabies is often found in dog right as far as i know and it can be avoided by giving a vaccine to the dog, btw imagining your description seems to be scary and it makes me cautious from now on about dog on the street :)

Which disease isn't scary??? I suffer from severe diabetes and have for the past four years. I was told that I have probably had diabetes since I was a young child and it went undetected therefore it is so hard now as an adult to get it under control...I am 27 and already have nerve damage(neuropathy) from the diabetes.I think diabetes is a scary disease because it is so silent, you can go a very long time without even knowing that you have it and during that time it can destroy your organs. I also think that cancer is a very scary disease just because for most there doesn't seem to be any cure and it takes you down so hard, I don't have any close personal experiences with cancer but I know it is scary for anyone that may have it or knows someone who does. I guess a third may be AIDS...it is very scary and is also uncurable. Again I think all diseases are scary.

I think all diseases are pretty scary in there own right. I can't really think of any disease that would be great to have. I do think cancer is scary, my father passed from it. Heart disease is pretty scary too.

Yes i also agree with you. i'm sorry to hear about your father. HIV and Aids is also scary since it's infected people surround you without you noticed especially yes it is very sad if our partner get it. stay with your spouse and have a safe healthy relation

Your right, HIV and Cancer have caused so many lost lives. It is very sad and I hope a cure for both is in our lifetime.

So afraid of Cancer and AIDS because until now, no definite cure has been found. It is strongly advised to take preventive measures and to take care of one's health at all times. Live and eat healthily and wisely or be sorry for the rest of your life.
