STRANGE DISEASES YOU DON'T WANT TO CONTRACT

EMMAUS, Pa. (Wireless Flash) -- Now here's a disease that really stinks: it literally makes you smell like a fish. "Men's Health" magazine is reporting that some folks suffer from an illness known as "fish-odor syndrome" which causes your breath and sweat to smell just like rotten fish. Other bizarre diseases you probably want to avoid include... -- "FOP," which is a genetic disorder that slowly turns your flesh into bone. -- "Sporadic fatal insomnia" which allows its victims to only sleep for an hour at a time. After that, their eyes tear uncontrollably, and they have trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. -- Finally, there's "Brainerd diarrhea" which causes explosive episodes of diarrhea up to 20 times a day and can last up to three years.
