Vegemitis is a disease that is characterized by plants growing out from toes, usually the big toe. It is especially widespread in the tropics. Known plants that have afflicted unfortunate sufferers include: Gerberas, rambutan, durian and lallang.
Exposure to tiny seeds that lay waiting as unsuspecting victims walk around without footwear. The seed gets embedded under the toe nail, and with water and sunlight, will germinate from the infected foot.
Cause of this mysterious ailment is still unknown due to lack of research funding in the South East Asian region, where it is most prevalent. The disease has been known to lay dormant in some cases and when least suspected, the sufferer wakes up with a sapling on his foot. Scientists has analyzed that the fruit that has been grown from Vegemitis victims has the same nutritional value as those that germinated from the ground.
Prevention: Field reports has shown that plastic or tinted ziploc bags wrapped around the foot that helps deprive the infected foot of water and sunlight, may result in slower growth of the plant.

Get the Vegemitis mug.A spread for toast made of vegetable extract. While it is extremely popular in Australia, it is reviled everywhere else. This aspect of vegemite is used for great humour by we Australians, as a single smear of it will reduce a non-Australian to a quivering jelly, similar to a veteran of 'Nam.
To make a vegemite sandwich, you must toast two slices of bread, and then butter it. You must then add just the right amount of spread, I find that half-a-teaspoon per slice works perfectly. Press the two slices together, and eat. Then, depending on nationality, you will proceed to the local pub or to the ER.
