I'm not gonna lie, I'm trying to get out of something and I need to think of a common sickness that people would get that would last over a week. :D Would something like strep throat work? what are some other suggestions?

Guinea Worm Disease. I guaran-frickin-tee they won't want you to come in.

Once inside the body, the stomach acid digests the water flea, but not the Guinea worm. These larvae find their way to the small intestine, where they penetrate the wall of the intestine and pass into the body cavity. During the next 10-14 months, the female Guinea worm grows to a full size adult 60-100 centimeters (2-3 feet) long and as wide as a cooked spaghetti noodle, and migrates to the site where she will emerge, usually the lower limbs.
