I considered fungal infections, but what I have caught passes from person to person, infecting your work colleagues, housemates, etc, and I could not find any species of fungus that is contagious person to person.

The human race needs to put the highest priority and effort into (ultimately) completely eliminating infectious diseases.

Even in the West, we are all infected from a young age with dozens of viruses, many if which cause mild or subclinical symptoms or syndromes (such is irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety disorders, depression, etc), and we just go on suffering, since there is little we can do with present medical understanding and technology.

But in the future, the whole human race will hopefully become much healthier - in mind and body - if we eliminate these stupid infectious pathogens by some clever technology.
