There are lots of diseases and health issues for humans to worry about in general, and yet we tend to create more of them as time goes on.

Terrible posture, severely burned thighs, nomophobia (no-mobile-phone phobia), and scrotal hyperthermia are plaguing us! I have pretty consistent neck pain on one side and I definitely think it’s related to hunching in front of the computer all day. Do you have any technology-related ailments? Diagnose yourself below.
