Hypochondria n. The persistent conviction that one is or is likely to become ill.

So today at work I was in very close proximity to people with pink eye and scabies that I know of and maybe a whole slew of things that I don't know about. Have you ever noticed that when someone mentions an illness you start to wonder if maybe you have it too? Like today when I asked our health coordinator what the symptoms of scabies are and then immediately started to itch in seven different places. Or when I got home today and looked up pictures of pink eye on the internet and then has the almost irresistible urge to rub my eye. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully I don't talk to the guy with a bullet wound in his head.
