Personally, I always think one of the key signs of a Munchie is the ability to find illness and everything related to it a source of endless fascination.
Being ill is boring. God, is it ever boring. Anyone who's so much as had a nasty cold knows how utterly tedious the business of being unwell is. Chronic illness is exactly the same, only more so because it doesn't have the decency to fuck off and bother someone else. You get just as tired of talking about it as everyone else is of hearing about it. You might as well kick off a conversation by mentioning you still walk on two legs, find water to be wet and occasionally enjoy eating food as dole out constant status updates on a chronic illness. It's boring. You feel boring. You would much rather talk about literally anything else.
Nobody finds illness as monomaniacally fascinating as a Munchie. Viruses are less single-minded than Jaquie here. The guy who invented the portacath was less obsessed with portacaths, professional orthotists spend less time thinking about mobility aids. She's like the guy in the Fluttershy tee who won't stop sperging about ponies, except her fandom is illness and her con swag is a pair of hot pink AFOs and a gastrostomy, and at least the brony is wasting nobody's time but his own.
