If you wake up with the sensation of little bugs crawling all over you, turn on the lights. If there are tiny bugs crawling all over you, you’re not the only one. It turns out that bedbugs are on the rise in the U.S. Yes, bedbugs actually exist. And they’re nasty. (Shiver.)

Even worse: You wake up with the sensation of little bugs crawling all over you, you turn on the light, and there are no bugs. But you’re covered in sores, and red and blue fibers are erupting from your flesh. You probably have Morgellon’s condition. And no one knows what causes it, or if it’s actually a disease. Some doctors think it’s a “delusional parasitosis” caused by patients who think that they are infected by parasites and have imagined effects. But strangely, when the little red and blue fibers were analyzed, they can’t figure out what they are. (Weird. Shiver. Urgh.)

And if that’s not enough to make you stop reading this post, Turkey is currently battling an outbreak of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, which is similar to Ebola. There have bee 242 reported cases of the disease, including 20 deaths, and more cases are expected. If you don’t know what hemorrhagic fever looks like, watch the 1995 film Outbreak. Or don’t. (Blood. Shiver. Urgh. Bleh.)

Another scary outbreak: Sexually transmitted cancer in dogs. Canine transmittable venereal tumor (CTVT) has been shown to be transmitted during sex. The disease has also been linked to a single source, according to a recent study. Amazingly, since the tumor cells are actually transferred from dog to dog during sex and grown in the host, they are genetically different from host dog’s cells. By analyzing the tumor cells, the cancer was traced back to a dog that was likely similar to a Husky or a Shih Tzu that lived 250 to 1,000 years ago. So keep your poor little puppies at home and make sure they know the dangers of CTVT. No one wants them catching this 500 year old itch at the doggie park. (Less bleh. More Urgh. And an, Oh! Poor little doggies!)
