History Main / PerfectHealth

* ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'': ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'': Thirteen-year-old Tash insists that she's never been sick in her life, though her slightly younger brother has come down with things before. Might have to do with TheForce. It's plot-important in ''The Planet Plague'' when she gets infected with TheVirus and it works far more slowly than expected.

* This trope is the key to a ChekhovsGun in ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' that was developed over many years: any time [[spoiler:Ai or Shinichi temporarily reversed their FountainOfYouth]] you'll notice they had a cold at the time, even if it had no immediately-obvious connection to the plot. It eventually turned out [[spoiler:rather than [[ImprobableAntidote baigar]] being a cure that [[ItOnlyWorksOnce only working once]], the cure was taking baigar ''while'' you had a cold.]]

* In ''Series/ICarly'' a minor character named Jeremy is an almost perfect inversion. He sneezes every few seconds, all day, every day (at least when he appears).

Characters never sneeze, cough, belch, blow their noses or in any way display less than perfect health unless it is [[SickEpisode central to the plot]] (as in AnnoyingPatient or NurseWithGoodIntentions). A simple cough might warrant a subplot to handle the ramifications, if it is not itself a [[IncurableCoughOfDeath symptom of terminal disease]]. If ever such symptoms have no plot significance, it's probably because the actor is [[RealLifeWritesThePlot actually sick]]. However, they'll usually try to work around that.

* Ohno's catching of a cold on ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}'' is what forces Saki to perform cosplay. Much to the latter's regret.
* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', Mr. 4's weapon, a gun which can become a dog by the name of Lassoo, has a cold during the fight for no particular reason. It mostly causes a comic effect when his sneezes also fire bombs. This is a turning point twice in the fight, when Chopper forces the dog to sneeze bombs into the tunnels used by Ms. Merry Christmas, and when a knocked out Lassoo sneezes one last ball which blows up him and his owners.

* ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'': ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'': Thirteen-year-old Tash insists that she's never been sick in her life, though her slightly younger brother has come down with things before. Might have to do with TheForce. It's plot-important in ''The Planet Plague'', when she gets infected with TheVirus and it works far more slowly than expected.

* Averted on ''Series/{{House}}'' where the main character occasionally has a cold, a headache or some other minor health issue without it impacting the plot. This comes from being around sick people constantly.

* PlayedForLaughs in the ''Series/BabylonFive'' TV movie ''River Of Souls''. A Soul Hunter announces his imminent arrival at Babylon 5, and the command staff remarks that Soul Hunters only show up when someone is about to die. Zack Allen starts coughing, and is alarmed to see everybody staring at him as if he is about to keel over.

** As a RunningGag, the socially awkward A.W. Merrick always manages to to have a cold during funerals and interrupts the proceedings with his thunderous sneezes.

* In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', Lex Luthor has the meteor-granted power of a superhuman immune system. Being Superman, so does Clark (the one time he gets sick, it's because he went into the Phantom Zone; however this illness [[CursedWithAwesome causes him to develop his super-breath]]).

* Not only does the titular RealityWarper in ''Webcomic/{{minus}}'' say that she's never been sick, but she doesn't seem to know what sickness ''is''. When her friend explained that she had been absent from school because she was sick, minus made herself sick to see what it was like... [[VomitDiscretionShot and threw up]]. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments She then assumes that her friend likes to throw up.]]
