The Usual Suspects
Let's start with the classics: the common cold. It's like the cockroach of illnesses - impossible to eradicate.

And if you thought your eyes were playing tricks on you, fear not, it's probably just a case of pink eye. It's like Atlanta decided to host a conjunctivitis party and everyone got an invite.
