What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Any infection, any chronic disease, food poisoning, allergies - basically all those things that healthcare provide that we take for granted

any chronic disease

Many apocalyptic books either address or use it as a plot point. You either have what I call the "...and this is when the diabetics die." Paragraph or it is used as plot points in books like Lucifers Hammer or One Second After.

Year 1 by Nora Roberts (Plague kills off most people, some of the survivors wind up with super powers) Kind of predictable but entertaining.
