6 of the most terrifying diseases you never want to get
As resilient as we think we are, nature appears to be slowly and steadily working out the means to eradicate us. Genetic, infectious, parasitic, bacterial illnesses and everything in between, today, our team at Pacific Prime presents you 6 terrifying diseases that you’d never want to get.

6) Fatal Familial Insomnia
Perhaps you have too much on at work or maybe you’re sleeping on the couch because you forgot your spouse’s birthday. There are a lot of reasons you may not be able to get an ideal amount of sleep these days and most of us can relate to an occasional sleepless night or two. In fact, around a third of Americans complain of some form of insomnia.

But what if your sleepless night turned into a week of sleepless nights, which then turned into a month of sleepless nights which will slowly but surely break you down until you seek out death as the only sensible escape from this unending ordeal. Fatal familial insomnia is characterized by a gradual slide into dementia, where along the way you can look forward to panic attacks, paranoia, phobias and hallucinations coupled with a complete inability to sleep. Finally, some might say mercifully, you slip into dementia followed by a coma and die some 7 – 18 months after first symptoms arise.

Oh, and I should mention that you can’t just pop an Ambien and get over it. Somehow, sleeping pills and barbiturates actually worsen the clinical manifestations and hasten the course of the disease, bringing you closer to death.

Luckily, only around 40 families worldwide have the mutated protein that causes this disease so you probably don’t need to be too concerned. But of course, the average age of onset is 50 so technically you could just be a ticking time-bomb just waiting to explode. And here you are thinking you’d been cursed by inferior genetics for your crooked teeth and receding hairline.

We all know how bad we look when we’re overtired from even one night of insufficient sleep so imagine the results after 7 sleepless months. Sleeplessness can make you gain or lose weight, make you forgetful, age your skin and impair attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning, and problem-solving. Plus, it kills your sex drive. But let’s face it – when you’re packing on the pounds, your skin is looking aged and you can barely construct a sentence, you’re probably not going to be getting much action anyway.

5) Polyglandular Addison’s Disease
Having this hormonal disorder can cause instantaneous death from sudden emotional stress but what happens exactly? To put it simply, sufferers are unable to produce adrenaline in response to stress. Adrenaline, or ephedrine, is the ‘fight or flight’ hormone that the body produces in response to stress. When the body can’t produce adrenaline, our organs cannot respond to stress sufficiently enough and so go into shock before completely shutting down, adding a whole new dimension to the phrase “You scared me half to death”.

Let’s think about that for a second. A Scary movie. Seeing a spider. A bike rider pulling out in front of you. A balloon popping – every one of these situations could easily lead to spontaneous death. But then again, by the time the doctor finishes his diagnosis, that’s probably enough shock and stress to kill you right then and there anyway.

4) Brainerd Diarrhea
Ever had food poisoning? The unfortunate results of going one extra round at that all-you-can-eat buffet can hang around for a few days. Now try to imagine having that for months on end and you’ll have a rough idea of what it’s like to have Brainerd diarrhea.

Characterized by ‘sudden-onset, watery, explosive diarrhea’, it is seemingly immune to antibiotics and people afflicted by this condition typically experience 10 – 20 episodes per day. Accompanying symptoms include cramping, fatigue, nausea and vomiting and presumably, a phobia of being more than 12 square feet from a bathroom.

Furthermore, this doesn’t tend to be a short term kind of deal and you can expect to make your bathroom your new home for the next 12 months. Oh, and did we mention that beyond having some hypothesis that it may be have something to do with drinking raw milk or drinking from a tainted water source, doctors still don’t know what causes it. And it’s resistant to antibiotics and there’s no known cure. Fantastic.

3) Cancrum Oris
Having bad breath in most of the first world is cause to have a breath mint and get on with your day. In sub-Saharan Africa, if you have noxious breath coupled with a bit of soreness and an ulcer it could be indicative of a much greater problem. Cancrum Oris, or Noma as it’s also known, begins with inflamed gums and cheeks followed by ulcers with foul-smelling drainage.

This disease attacks the face, destroying tissue and tearing through the lips, face, and cheeks of those afflicted. Unlike most infections, it is able to spread through anatomical barriers such as muscle and causes severe and permanent physical damage to its sufferers.

It generally occurs in young, severely malnourished children between the ages of 2 and 5 and is especially prevalent in the areas with poor sanitation and unsafe drinking water. It also seems to target malnourished, dehydrated and often immune-compromised children, for example, kids born with HIV.

In most cases, it will kill you, but one in ten sufferers do survive, albeit with permanent damage to their face and life long scars – but with their lives at least.

2) Ebola
As though the people of Africa didn’t have enough to worry about, what with the imminent threat of being eaten by wild animals (or trampled by them), there are some truly terrifying diseases that are cutting swathes through the population, and one of the most terrifying has to be Ebola.

Ebola will kill you in a matter of days due to severe internal bleeding and hemorrhaging – doctor speak for essentially liquefying your insides until you erupt blood from every orifice. With an average case fatality rate of around 68%, you’ve got more chance of surviving a shark attack.

Because of its incredibly high lethality and rapid rate of spreading, its efficacy as a biological warfare agent (which both the USA and Soviet Union were looking into during the Cold War) is compromised. What you’ve effectively got is a force of nature that is too good at killing people.

1) Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva
Hollywood would struggle to come up with a more nightmarish condition than the FOP. And frankly, if it did, we probably wouldn’t believe that it was real. Whenever some injury is sustained, as the body heals, it causes muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the body to turn to bone. Before you start thinking this is exactly the kind of disease that gets someone recruited to the X-Men, let’s just correct some of those misconceptions.

Over time, this process will slowly paralyze you, locking your body into place and affecting your ability to perform even the most rudimentary tasks. Why not just cut the bone out you say? Well as the body tries to heal itself guess what gets created? That’s right, more bone. With only a few hundred cases confirmed worldwide, FOP is pretty uncommon. However, there’s no cure and no treatment so chances are you’ll die before the age of 40, by which point you’ll have petrified to the stage where all you can do is move your lips anyway.

Is there anything I can do at all?
As terrifying those diseases are, they are also scarce, and you are unlikely ever to get them. However, in today’s world, there are a plethora of other common devastating diseases that you can fall into. Besides the top 3 global causes of death being the heart and coronary related diseases, cancers, and other non-communicable illnesses slip into our lives and often ruin it prematurely. Having the right health insurance solution, can not only save your life but combined with critical illness coverage, can offset the burden of you not being able to work due to the critical illness. Feel free to contact me, I’ll be happy to explain to you any health insurance questions you might have, always free of charge.
