Body Horror
Two horrible thing:

One (which also fits in to last weeks, "Brush with death") was an insect bite on my arm that led to celulitus and a week long hospital stay. In the old days they called it "Poisoned arm", and for good reason. At its worst my forearm was three times its normal size (for a pretty skinny guy this looks appalling) and had orange sized bags of puss hanging from my wrist and elbow; the entire forarm was a glow in the dark red.

Two, a lesses insect bite on my forhead that became infected. It swelled and swelled so it looked like i was spawning something like an alien. That was bad... but the worst was when I was in the public Works toilet, looking at myself in abject misery. All i did was touch it... no squeezing, nothing... and the thing exploded. About half a pint of puss and blood spurted out. it hissed! On the plus side my forhead was back to its normal size; on the minus I had covered the entire mirror in unmentionable filth. Thats the bit that made me puke (and I've never cleaned a mirror so fast).
