Medical Terms from a Vegetable market


I was walking through the vegetable market in search of medical terms.

We have bird flu, chicken gunya, fishy icthyosis, elephantiasis, chicken pox, mad cow disease and now swine flu.. the list could go on .

There never seemed to have been any fanatic vegetarians at the disease christenings, how it will be if we had some things like potato bunions, ivy itch, bitter gourd eczema, ginger calcanean spur, brinjal bruise and carrot top rash, these at least can help the future generations to know we did have such vegetables , and not all of us survived on packet foods and meat .

( I am sure the readers can let their minds wander as they go about the vegetable marketing and add titles to make the list grow.)
