Everyone has every disease at one time or another if we look at a list of symptoms and say "yeh, I feel or do that".

"Bubonic plague symptoms include:
* High fever
* Smooth, painful lymph gland swelling called a buboe
o Commony found in the groin, but may occur in the armpits or neck
o Pain may occur in the area before the swelling
* Chills
* General ill feeling (malaise)
* Muscle pain
* Severe headache
* Seizures

I guess I've had plague, then, since I've had some of those symptoms at one time or another.:D
