If that happened to me, and I got rid of it, I'd ask if the infection could be named after me.

I want it to be remembered that I won.

Nah. They would name it Spspspspspiosis.

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That sounds more like the name of the treatment than of the bacteria itself.

Really? You want an annoying disease to be named after you? Like "fuck me i got the stoy today"

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I would want them to let me choose the name.

I'd want to have them to name it after me. "Dave Fever" has a ring to it.
