fabulous!! This is what I got:

Congratulations, you're the bubonic plague!

You're infamous. You're usually deadly when left untreated. You're spread by a flea.

That's how cool you are.

I got Rickets, too. What's up with the "come in fear, facist pigs?" at the top? I knew that Old English class I took would come in handy someday. My translation may not be entirely correct, but honestly, I got a little nervous and was afraid to surf around in there! Heebie Jeebies, but cool test!

Rickets

Synonyms and related keywords: infantile osteomalacia, juvenile osteomalacia, rachitis, vitamin-D deficiency, skeletal deformity, growth disturbance, hypocalcemia, tetany

Background: Rickets is defined as the failure of osteoid to calcify in a growing person or animal. Failure of osteoid to calcify in the adult is called osteomalacia. Rickets occurs when the metabolites of Vitamin D are deficient. Less commonly, dietary deficiency of Calcium or phosphorus may produce rickets. Vitamin D (cholecalciferol [vitamin D-3], a steroid compound) is formed in the skin under the stimulus of ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light was the only significant source of vitamin D until early in the 20th century when ergosterol (vitamin D-2), contained in fish liver oil or as an irradiated plant steroid, was discovered. Ergosterol can be taken orally with good effect.

I'm rabies. "But don't worry, you affect humans too, causing either paralysis or hyperactivity in your advanced stages, and ultimately death." I suspected as much!

Love this site, Vines; thanks for the link.
