5 Of The Weirdest Diseases... One That You Might Even Want
Just about every exotic disease gets its 5 minutes of fame. Most people learn about them by watching House or Grey's Anatomy. But if you've missed an episode or don't watch those shows, we'll introduce you to 5 odd and rare afflictions.
5. Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) - The name explains the main symptom. However, it doesn't explain how detrimental it can be. An infant afflicted with MSUD must have a special low-protein diet because they lack an enzyme that breaks down proteins. If the diet is not regulated the condition is fatal. But the big question is, does it make the yellow snow taste any better?
4. Capgras Delusion - People with Capgras believe that someone they know is replaced by an identical-looking impostor. The condition is typically linked with people who are suffering from schizophrenia, dementia, or a brain injury. This might be a good excuse for anyone on caught on Cheaters.
3. Cotard's Syndrome - A person suffering from Cotard's syndrome believes that they're a walking corpse. The most "effective" treatment includes electroconvulsive therapy. This therapy might also lead to memory loss. Does forgetting they're dead solve the issue?
2. Congenital Insensitivity To Pain - Not feeling pain must be wonderful right? But some people have bitten off the tip of their tongue, broken their bones, and burned themselves because they couldn't feel pain. Pain isn't all bad, it's really like a frenemy.
1. "I Can't Get Fat" Condition - It's actually called lipodystrophy. In one case, the onset was practically overnight. Lipodystrophy might be an alternative to the tapeworm diet or the exercise and eating less plan.
