Most of these may be literal translations of their names. Don;t forget that most of the Western names you hear have meanings in the root languages they come from.

#11 Amoebic dysentery, or Typhus?

Not amoebic dysentery, mojo. The first sign of that is sudden onset heavy bleeding from the rectum. (Think a flood of blood, like when a pregnant woman's water breaks.) When Mr. Wife fell ill with amoebic dysentery while on a business trip in India, the bleeding was so heavy he called home to say goodbye, in case he died en route to the hospital.
