    Elephantitis

    Elephantitis The 10 Grossest Things That Can Grow On Your Body Science & Medicine picture
    Actually, it's spelled Elephantiasis.

    Caused by a parasitic infection from round worms, the lymphatic system is virtually shut down, thereby making it impossible for tissue to shed fluid.

    The fluid builds up, inflaming the tissue and causing you to swell up like a...wait for it.....an elephant!

    This disease is commonly found in underdeveloped regions of South America, Central Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, and the Caribbean.

    Long-term infection a buildup of fluid in the s*****m, and elephantiasis of the legs, s*****m, arms, penis, b*****s, and vulvae.

    Before you start envisioning a huge penis or massive jugs on your girl, just remember it's extremely painful and it means you have SEVERAL WORMS mutating in your body.

    Flesh Eating Disease

    Flesh Eating Disease The 10 Grossest Things That Can Grow On Your Body Science & Medicine picture
    Hey, it's a real disease. Even Hagrid refers to it in Harry Potter 3.

    Basically, bacteria attacks the soft tissue and the fascia, which is a sheath of tissue covering the muscle.

    NF can occur in an extremity following a minor trauma, or after some other type of opportunity for the bacteria to enter the body such as surgery.

    So if you went in for that tummy tuck and came out with half a leg, you'll know who to sue.

    (Once treated, the bacteria is eradicated from the body. During treatment, surgical sites are left open for a sufficient period of time to be sure that the remaining tissue is no longer being destroyed. When the infection has been stopped, the wounds are closed, typically with skin grafting.)

    Gingivitis

    Gingivitis The 10 Grossest Things That Can Grow On Your Body Science & Medicine picture
    Gingivitis is the inflammation and infection of the gum tissue surrounding the teeth.

    It is a very common condition and is often the result of poor dental hygiene or ill-fitting dental appliances.

    Other causes may include poor eating habits, poor tooth alignment, heavy plaque deposits, blood disorders, drug reactions and vitamin deficiencies.

    And while you're at the dentist, you can ask for a dental dam.

    Highly complex method for preventing it: BRUSH & FLOSS.

    Skin Shedding

    Skin Shedding The 10 Grossest Things That Can Grow On Your Body Science & Medicine picture
    Harlequin Ichthyosis.

    A severe genetic disorder that mainly affects the skin and only affects infants.

    The most common cause of death is systemic infection and sufferers rarely survived for more than a few days.

    However, there have been improvements in care, most notably the drug Isotretinoin (Isotrex). Some patients have survived into adolescence and, in very rare cases, lived to adulthood.

    I refuse to make a joke about this. Except for this: http://www.sparkplugging.com/the-man-page/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/squeeze_toys.jpg

    Liver Disease

    Liver Disease The 10 Grossest Things That Can Grow On Your Body Science & Medicine picture
    Cirrhosis of the Liver.

    Cirrhosis is a condition in which the liver slowly deteriorates and malfunctions due to chronic injury. Scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue, partially blocking the flow of blood.

    In the United States, heavy alcohol consumption and chronic hepatitis C have been the most common causes of cirrhosis.

    Obesity is becoming a common cause of cirrhosis, either as the sole cause or in combination with alcohol, hepatitis C, or both.

    But hey, don't dump out your Stroh and In & Out just yet. It takes YEARS of heavy eating and drinking to get to this point.

    Actually, the reason people go blind from this bacteria is repeated infections over time. Most cases are completely reversible if the person can receive treatment (hopefully with some infectious disease control) or the disease clears on it's own without reinfection.

    Bonus points for making it past #5? Really? That's the least gross one on the list. It's not even a real picture, it's an illustration of a liver along with alcoholic smiley faces.

    And honestly, why is that one even on the list? The liver doesn't grow on your body. Gingivitis is a stretch, but it can be seen with the naked eye at least, and it did come with a gross picture.

      True story, but I was hard pressed to make an entire list. It's not my fault - my title was different. My editor changed it to things growing on your body AND required that the list be 10 items.

      Not my fault!!!
