The disease that results from the contraction of the Staphylococcus Shigellosis microorganism. AKA Post-Gan Syndrome (PGS). It is caused by poo-to-mouth contact, and is commonly found in Chinese take-out joints all over Manhattan and sheisty Queens (see: Dougie's).

Today in the United States, it is commonly referred to as Klein's Disorder, after the famed early 21st Century amateur biologist, who first identified the microbe and the scourge associated with it- the hard way.

Ganitis is often accompanied by extreme diarrhea whose hallmark is a velevetty consistency with a hue that can range from khaki to deep purple. Generally, the bouquet of Ganitis, although very much present, varies widely and is as yet unpredictable. As a result, most modern healthcare professionals strongly prefer to ignore the aroma and instead rely heavily on the viscosity and shade of the poo when recommending a treatment.

Usually, treatment consists of bed rest and drinking plenty of fresh water to avoid dehydration. Dookage, however, remains the most important ritual of the recovery process. Many sufferers find that watching good television programs, like TCAP or Dog Whisperer, can ease the rehabilitation. Generally, one DOES NOT develop immunity after passing Ganitis. Many rookies, making this mistake, quickly learn that if you are ordering the Gan, Klein's should be considered a foregone conclusion.

Klein's is spread by contaminated water and food, and can cause the most severe dysentery because of its potent and deadly Shiga toxin.

detonating gonaditis 

(n.) the medical name for exploding testicles. It is divided into two types, Acute Regional Gonadotrophic Hernioma (ARGH) the less serious of the two, and the always life-threatening Osteoulcerative Colonic Hernioma (OuCH).The first variety is the most common form of the disease. It is characterized by swelling of one or more testicles and acute pain in the groin region. This is accompanied by insomnia, lethargy, and in some cases, severe flatulence. Although not immediately life threatening, if left untreated the gonads will continue to swell until the patient is forced to continuously squat, eventually, the gonads burst without warning, emitting an audible pop. In the second form of the disease, detonation occurs spontaneously and without warning, which can be far more psychologically traumatic for the patient than it is physically. Even still, the force generated by the rapid pressure release can cause significant injury to the vital organs, resulting in an immediate coma and death. It is estimated that more people are killed each year from Detonating Gonaditus than are killed on the roads.

Both forms of detonating gonaditis are believed to have both genetic and environmental components. If a patient has the disease, then their risk of developing the disease in later life is believed to be close to 100%. Similarly, the risk factor is increased by smoking, drinking, and sex.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
