I used to belive that If you had dihorea people would come and cut a slice of your bum of.

I think that there is a city inside you called the city of and then put your name there. The white blood cells are cops and the hypothalamus controls the body temp.. And when a virus gets in they make you sick and terrorize the city. I also beleive they celebrate your birthday all the time because it's important to them.

When I was a kid I thought that there was no way that I could throw up while going "poop". In my mind, I was making much needed room for the vomit by pooping and would no longer "need" to throw up.

I used to believe that cancer as disease was a real little cancer with claws crawling somewhere in stomach. How stupid!

My sister told me whenever I had a tummy ache it was my unborn twin inside my stomache trying to get out.

i always thought there was a bank of 'health' : that if someone was sick in the family, they could draw on this bank to prolong good health. And that the way to fill up the bank was to count to over a hundred.
Sort of the same principle people use prayer for now.

I believed that bee stings caused chicken pox. Don't know why...

when i was about 6 we were on a family holiday, visiting relatives. My sister was complaining to my mother of a sharp stinging sensation in her stomach. I overheard my mother say to her 'its probably just indigestion'. Later that day, I noticed a sharp stinging sensation in my legs and so I was talking to a cousin (that we were visiting) told her about my sore legs. I said in that all-knowing way 'its probably nothing serious, just a bit of indigestion' - my aunt and mother overhearing the conversation burst out laughing.

When I was 10, I thought that nausea was called Lack-O-Candy Disease. My mom made it up

when I was about three or four I believed when you got sick there were little men inside you fighting.

I used to believe that when you got cancer all your hair fell out cos that's what cancer did. Found out later that's what chemotherapy does.

When I was about 8 years old, we learnt about how Jesus cured lepers. The Teacher was bombarded with questions about leprosy and she spent about an hour explaining what it was. Somehow I managed to greatly misunderstand the disease and for about a year afterwards I thought that anyone who had their fingers curled up a little had leporsy. For that year I went around with my hands dead straight so that I wouldnt be at risk of getting the disease.

When I was a child I believed my father when he told me that sniffling would make my mucous go up into my brain so I had better use a tissue and blow my nose instead.

My mother used to tell us that taking medicine that we didn't need would cause us to get the sickness it was meant to cure. Like, drinking cough syrup when you didn't have a cough would cause you to *get* a cough.

I used to think Parkinson Disease was named after Micheal Parkinson.
