Talk:Favaism

While there are references to this on the internet, the CDC has no mention of it on its website. Interestingly, though, Conservapedia's article is the first result when I look up "favaism" on Yahoo. HelpJazz 19:28, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Google wonders if I didn't mean fascism... Well, I would have suspected parody, but this legit site seems to give some credence to the term. Also, aren't the CDC primarily concerned with infectious diseases? Favaism sounds more genetic. -Foxtrot 20:19, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Good point on the CDC. I don't think the article is parody, but I think some other name must be used for the disease, and "favaism" is just slang. I just can't seem to figure out what that other name is. HelpJazz 12:51, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

The condition is favism, not favaism.--Brossa 14:53, 24 September 2008 (EDT)
