1) Be born to a family which has a strong genetic tendency toward making all their babies (by some mysterious heredity) allergic to penicillin

2) Have a large part of your internal physiology removed and replaced with some other structure to which penicillin has been safely administered before you\u2019re born, causing you to be allergic

3) Be born as a twin where one fetus is a normal infant with a fully functional immune system (and thus all its siblings are immune) while the other fetus has a deactivated immune system (so that its siblings are dead)

4) Be born with a \u201cuniversal pan-specific T cell receptor that recognizes a conserved antigen on bacteria, viruses, and parasites\u201d \u2013 this is a hypothetical antigen, so you could \u201cimmunize\u201d yourself to this antigen by giving yourself an injection or inhaling an aerosolized mist containing an antigen of this kind

5) Go down the rabbit hole

I love how most of these are graphic descriptions of illness-related tragedies you\u2019re born with and then the last one is just

My favorite part is that it isn\u2019t a graphic description of what\u2019s wrong at all \u2013 I was just thinking out loud about the funny ways I might die, and I was surprised by how many of them had a non-clinical origin
