      Hi Lottie,

      That’s a great question, but I think the answer is no – pretty much any part of the body can be affected by a certain disease. There are some parts which are very well protected from disease – the brain is fairly well protected until you hit the age of 80, for example – but unless you go for non-living parts (like your hair), then I think you can find a disease for each body part, if you wanted to!

      Hello 🙂

      Nope. From head (alopecia) to toe (ingrown nail) all your body could be affected by a disease.
