Perhaps every person wants to be unique and tries to somehow stand out among others. However, in this article we will talk about unique people who are different from others because of their ailments.
The 5 most unusual human diseases in history
1.Dracula's disease
It is also porphyria, a very rare disease, to date, about 7,000 cases of such a disease have been recorded in the world. Researchers believe that it was this disease that gave rise to the myths about Dracula. The inability to be in the sun is one of the many problems with this disease. A person literally begins to burn, and he becomes covered with blisters, while feeling unbearable pain. Also, a characteristic feature is a change in bite.
Due to the fact that the skin dries, it begins to tighten incredibly, while unnaturally fitting the jaw. The occurrence of this disease is most often explained by sexual relations between close relatives. This is an incurable disease, the maximum that can be done is to change the daily routine. During the day, people feel an incredible breakdown, and at night they literally wake up. Excluding direct sunlight is a mandatory rule when arranging your apartment. Only in this way, people with this rare pathology can feel more or less comfortable. Today, science is progressing, and there is every chance that soon this disease will be curable.
2. Blue Skin Syndrome
The disease is called acantokeratoderma. The causes of the onset of the disease can be different, both hereditary and physiological disorders. For example, a long period of taking medications or drugs, obesity and diabetes.
Symptoms of such a disease are only a change in skin color. No other abnormalities were observed.
3.Sleeping Beauty Syndrome
The official name is Klein-Levin syndrome. This is a rare disease that most often affects people 13-19 years old. They develop an uncontrollable feeling of drowsiness, which can last up to a whole day, interrupted only to go to the toilet or eat. And they love to eat very much, they show excessive gluttony, which is very difficult to control. There are also cases of loss of space (disorientation), sometimes amnesia and hallucinations occur. Patients become extremely sensitive to light and sound. People who suffer from this disease may be among us, but we may not notice this, since they lead a normal life, and the disease manifests itself in periods. For example, for several months, it can be 2-3 days. The causes of the disease are still unknown.<
The disease is characterized by an abnormal appetite for absolutely inedible things. For example, stones, earth, soap, clay, paper, and sometimes even feces seem to be appetizing to patients. The cause of the disease cannot yet be determined, but scientists suggest that it may be a deficiency of certain substances in the body, which patients are trying to make up for on a subconscious level.
5.Wolf Syndrome
The official name of the disease is hypertrichosis. It is characterized by excessive growth of hair on the body. Almost all parts of the body are affected, including the face. Both children and adults are susceptible to the disease. In addition, people have thick lips, an enlarged jaw, large mouths and ears, and a wide nose. Scientists have learned the cause of the disease not so long ago, the cause is the 17th chromosome - patients do not have a long DNA fragment with copies of genes. The chromosome reads the neighboring gene responsible for the growth of hair on the body. As a result of this failure, the body urgently produces the necessary proteins, which is why this effect occurs.
