Part 1:
Some infectious diseases that come to my mind are diabetes, IBS, IBD, obesity, mental illness, cancer, arthritis, parkinsons, stroke, heart disease, and allergies.
Part 2:
I have some similar overlapping diseases from my initial post the first week. However, I have a much better understanding about what a non-infectious disease is and had a easier time of thinking of examples. An important topic that I am going to take away from this class is that our micro biome has an impact on our mental health. I read one of my peers final essays and they talked about this topic and I found it very important and relevant to my stressful life.
