I think most of us have had zoonotic diseases of one sort or the other. Since I'm a primatologist at heart, I'll always fear Ebola, HIV (let us not forget this is a zoonotic disease), and Herpes Simian B. I may or may not have had west nile, but I have had Dengue, Impatago and Bacterial pnemonia.
I've already been vacinated for Hep A and B.

Elephantiasis.
I've probably had West Nile (I work in mosquito control, and have been exposed many times), but having worms in my body that block the lymph system and cause my testicles to swell to the size of watermelons? That one scares me.
Here's a picture that is probably NOT safe for work (or lunch)

Hepatitis and Herpes B.... Never caught either.
Chances are I've caught West Nile Virus, but I haven't been tested for it, and I'm not too concerned about it.

Rabies. Although I'm not worried about it, I definitely don't want to be attacked by a rabid animal!
