10 Films All Hypochondriacs Should Avoid

7. Mary And Martha - Mosquitos Will Be Your Constant Enemy

If you're already just a little bit paranoid about bug bites, it's maybe best you don't watch Mary And Martha. Let's just take a moment to picture a hypochondriac on holiday. Bar the obvious signs of cancer that you've definitely got following a little too much sun while hanging out on the beach, consider the certainty of death that accompanies a tiny mosquito bite. Of course you've got AIDS. Of course you've contracted Malaria. OF COURSE WEST NILE VIRUS IS COURSING ITS VICIOUS WAY THROUGH YOUR VEINS. So do yourself a favour and take Mary and Martha off your movie hit list - the fact that two mothers lose their sons to Malaria in Africa is enough to make you, the certified hypochondriac, think every mosquito in the world has a personal vendetta towards you. And not just them, basically anything with wings that buzzes. A tiny bite will no longer be a tiny bite. It will be an imminent cause of death.
