This is wild...

"People who are born in December are quite possibly healthier than the rest of us--and a lot healthier than those born in March.

Those with December birthdays are predisposed to respiratory syncytial virus, an infection that causes pneumonia, but that's nothing compared to people who are born in March, who are predisposed to a veritable medical textbook of illnesses and disorders: Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, autism, narcolepsy, Hodgkin's disease, multiple sclerosis, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy.

Medical experts from a variety of prestigious research institutions, including Stanford University, Southwest Missouri State University, and Stanley Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Md., have independently found a link between the month in which you were born and a predisposition to certain illnesses, reports ABC News. If there is any explanation between birth month and disease it is most likely environmental, although no study has been able to prove a definitive cause-and-effect relationship. For example, fetal exposure to a virus in the second trimester of pregnancy when neurodevelopment begins may be linked to schizophrenia.

What diseases and disorders are most common for each birth month? ABC News compiled this list:

JANUARY
Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, respiratory syncytial virus

FEBRUARY
Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, epilepsy

MARCH
Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, autism, narcolepsy, Hodgkin's disease, multiple sclerosis, bipolar disorder, epilepsy

APRIL
Leukemia, dyslexia, learning disabilities, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorder, epilepsy, ALS

MAY
Dyslexia, learning disabilities, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Parkinson's disease

JUNE
Anorexia, diabetes, dyslexia, learning disabilities, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Parkinson's disease, and celiac disease

JULY
Diabetes, celiac disease, dyslexia, learning disabilities

AUGUST
Diabetes, celiac disease, autism, Crohn's disease

SEPTEMBER

OCTOBER

not sure, but, both of my kids had that RSV thing, maybe there is truth to some of it

No it is true, however what conclusions you draw depends on how you interpret the statistics. That's one of the problems of statistics.

December!

I don't put stock into that but so far so great on the health tip....

OH MAN! I'm screwed!

APRIL
Leukemia, dyslexia, learning disabilities, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorder, epilepsy, ALS


I wanna change my b-day to October

JULY
Diabetes, celiac disease, dyslexia, learning disabilities



So I will develop diabetes & celiac disease (Celiac disease is a disorder that causes problems in your intestines when you eat gluten, which is in wheat, rye, barley and oats) and have a hard time reading and learning about me diseases

Celiac disease is a funny one cuz I dont eat fuking wheat & oats
