Throughout time mankind has dealt with the horrors of disease. When one is eradicated there's always another waiting in the wings ready to make its debut and claim the lives of millions.

The "Sick Shit" series is a hypochondriac's worst nightmare as it takes a look at all kinds of infectious diseases, different germs, and all that goes along with the phenomenon of being sick.

In this edition, read about HIV/AIDS, its history, origin, treatments, and the controversy surrounding the illness. Also read about how some people known as "bugchasers" seek out the virus to become infected on purpose.

Information is also given on infectious disease and the difference between epidemics and pandemics.

Look for more editions of "Sick Shit" to read everything you ever wanted to know about specific diseases and some of the sick shit that people do to cause even more illness and death.
