That being said though, viruses, parasites, and bacteria can be pretty interesting to study as well. Why? They tend to be a little bit more frightening.
For example, did you know that the world's largest outbreak of ebola virus in human history is going on right now in Western Africa? That stuff is scary.
Ebola is extremely contagious, and has the capacity to kill approximately 90% of those infected with it. Patients experience excruciating pain as the virus slowly shuts down their organs, and causes them to bleed all over. I mean ALL over. Google "ebola" and you'll see images of people bleeding from their eyes, arms, mouth, etc. It's not something that you want to catch. The virus typically starts with somebody handling a gorilla, monkey, chimp, bat, or other animal carcass. After that, it spreads through human-to-human contact with the infected.
There's been 518 confirmed deaths at the moment due to the virus, and over 840 cases of infection as of today. This is the stuff where if you catch it, people in white biohazard suits show up at your house. Even the medical personnel have started to contract the disease.
Like I said before, this stuff is scary.
And speaking of eyes bleeding, here's a little video for you to check out:
