You really don't want to know.

myx·o·ma·to·sis (mik-so'm?-to'sis)
n. pl. myx·o·ma·to·ses (-sez)

A highly infectious, usually fatal disease of rabbits that is caused
by a pox virus and is characterized by many skin tumors similar to
myxomas.
A condition characterized by the growth of many myxomas.

I remember walking in fields and seeing rabbits crouching and
trembling, blood seeping from their orifices and ever so slowly,
dying. Even farmers said they would never have wished such an end to
rabbits as this imported virus wrought. The terrible part was it took
them so long to die. Hideous.

It's a sick pun, along the lines of Monty Python at their worst.

I generally like black humor. Maybe it's because I had no clue what this
meant until it was explained to me.

Yes Myxo is not very pleasant, but neither have been the absolute ravages
caused by rabbits, an introduced pest, on the Australian landscape. They
have destroyed viable land (of which we have precious little), they have
competed with native animals for food - even in the most marginal of land.
There is little here to keep numbers in check, most Australian animals are
herbivores, and even those that aren't couldn't hope to prey on rabbits
often enough to keep numbers under control. Rabbits are an absolute blight
on this country.
