Avian flu of either the H7 or H5 type, MRSA in hospitals, PVL toxin, Radioactive poisoning by Soviet spies, terrorist contamination of foodstuffs or exploding rucksacks, CJD in your beefburgers and meat pies, getting emphysema and lung cancer from the chimney smoker in the pub, or being run over by someone in a car using their mobile phone.

mine I think is MRSA - I'm unlikely to catch bird flu as I don't get in close contact with birds in that way - although I love birds and am terribly upset about the awful but necessary cull that happened over the weekend, Turkeys are incredibly intelligent birds and panic will have swept through the masses when they realised what was happening. the radioactive poisoning is unlikey to get to me since I am not a spy nor (to my knowledge!) know any spies!! - Terrorists make me VERY nervous but I generally don't travel by plane or trains and don't go to high risk places that could be a target. Lung cancer should cease to be a threat by passive smoking come July when its all banned from the pubs - passive smoking won't affect us on a major scale once thats in place! but MRSA could catch anyone out, visiting the hospital to see a friend or relative, just going for an appointment, anything!! yuk!!!

if it's not one thing it's another as a father and parent of a young child your concerns are raised about these out breaks although you missed the sars virus, aids, drugs and many many more, no wonder I'm bald at the thought of it ! pandemic illnesses are a great worry but i think drugs and aids worry me in the future most!

Prion diseases like CJD as no treatment, undetected for years and can't be diagnosed until you die

The hormones that are pumped into our foods to make them grow faster.
We don't know what effects they will have on us.
