Appendicitis is a hemorrhage of the appendix. Without immediate treatment, it is fatal. However, treatment involves the removal of the appendix.

It was previously believed that the appendix was a rudimentary part left over from a distant ancestral species. However, it has been recently discovered that the appendix serves as a "breeding ground" for the good intestinal bacteria. Without these, your immunity is decreased.
