Common Diseases Quiz

Common Diseases Quiz takes inspiration from one of the greatest “oops” moments in science. In 1928, Alexander Fleming left his lab a bit messy and went on vacation. When he came back, a mold had grown on one of his petri dishes and killed the bacteria around it. That mold? Penicillium. The discovery? Penicillin, the first true antibiotic. Completely accidental. Yet it changed the world. This quiz doesn’t ask you to discover medicine, but it does invite you to revisit what you know about common diseases, how they spread, and what causes them. With topics like vitamin deficiencies and mosquito-borne illnesses, it’s perfect for curious minds.
