Tourette's syndrome. Tourette's patients have tics, which can include involuntary bursts of foul language, involuntary turns of the head, and so forth.
Recently, I read in Prevention magazine an article about how children's behavioral problems and obsessive-compulsive behaviors can be caused by infections. That was pretty weird. I have the paper magazine; the article might be online at prevention.com .

Actually, I always feared the great plague aka bubonic plague. I know it was way before my time, still scary as hell though.
Meningitis terrifies me too.
Edit; too the person above me... Ebola virus was before AIDS not after. Many died in Africa, the government burned the corpses out of fear of the spreading contamination and lack of knowledge of the disease, they did the same when AIDS showed up.

Hmmm, either kaposi's sarcoma (not so much weird as horrible) Or gigantism, or Cushings disease, or graves disease.... any one of those are quite interesting. Have an awesome day!!! :)

Well, hemochromatosis- it is where you body can't get rid of the iron in your body. Generally the only treatment is getting blood drained on average once a week. It is essentially the opposite of anemia.
