The appendix. For future reference(in case you don't know) anything with the ending, "itis" means inflammation. So appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. Also the appendix is an organ near the small intestine that filters out some foods. With the inflammation of the appendix, a human can potentially die if not treated correctly. Most of the time, if the person is not under care of a doctor, when the appendix explodes, which is usually the side effect of this, they will die. There are exceptions however...
