10 BIZARRE DISEASES Science Can't Explain! - Part 2

- There are many things that can affect the human body, but not even

science

can

explain

the strangest things that happen. (foreboding music) Anything can happen to our body both mentally and physically, and although

science

can diagnose many of them, there is still a list of very rare and strange ailments that remain un

explain

ed. If you ever have them, there will be no help for you, because although we have a name for them and what they cause, we still have to explain why they occur. Here are 10 strange

diseases

that science cannot explain,

part

two. Number one is sudden infant death syndrome.

Sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, is greatly feared by parents of newborns, as it can end life very quickly and without warning. This syndrome is given as a cause of death when a newborn dies without any evidence of suffocation or suffocation, and an autopsy cannot provide further explanation. SIDS is also known as crib death because it usually occurs when the child is sleeping. It is the cause of around 15,000 deaths a year and remains the leading cause of death in babies between one month and one year old. To make matters worse, for no known reason, most cases of SIDS occur when the baby is between two and four months old.

Since science has yet to explain why these babies die, it is impossible to prevent it, making SIDS an ongoing fear for parents of newborn children everywhere, as it could occur at any time. Number two is exploding head syndrome. Despite its name, exploding head syndrome doesn't actually cause heads to literally explode. That would be crazy. Instead, it is a sleep disorder classified as parasomnia, which causes you to have strong auditory hallucinations in your mind when you are about to fall asleep or wake up. Some of the noises that have been reported from sufferers include bomb explosions, gunshots, firecrackers, thunder, and loud roars.

This can be extremely distressing for those who have been affected by it and can trigger bodily reactions due to the stress and anxiety it causes. It is also known to cause palpitations and tachycardia, or rapid heartbeat due to the shock of the experience. Now, there is no actual ear pain related to the volume of sounds, indicating that it has something to do with the brain and not the ears, but scientists don't know how or why it happens, but they think it might have something to see. to do with stress, inadequate sleep or more serious brain problems.

If you have ever heard very loud noises in your head before waking up or before going to sleep, see a doctor immediately, although, unfortunately, the most they can do for you is simply diagnose it. Number three is Alice in Wonderland syndrome. Also known as micropsia, Alice in Wonderland syndrome was named in honor of Dr. John Todd in 1955, who compared it to Lewis Carroll's children's story. If you're not familiar, the story involves Alice, who at one point eats a mysterious food and a mysterious drink called Eat Me and Drink Me, causing her to grow and shrink drastically.

Her resizing changed her perspective and ordinary things became unusually large or small. This is exactly what happens if you have micropsia. You'll experience periods of visual distortion that will cause your vision to narrow things into your vision, sort of like looking in the wrong direction through binoculars. In addition to vision problems, some people who experience this syndrome have lost their sense of time and perceive events as moving in slow motion. This strange syndrome has a wide variety of possible causes and associations with things like migraines, seizures, brain trauma, and drug use, but unfortunately there is no certain cause, leaving researchers completely stumped.

Number four is cyclical vomiting. People with this problem will vomit and experience extreme nausea for a certain period of time, which can range from hours to even days. After an episode of cyclical vomiting, symptoms will disappear for weeks and months, but may reappear for years or even decades. The strange thing is that while these symptoms are not uncommon in those suffering from the flu or stomach illness, cyclical vomiting occurs for no apparent reason. One day you'll be completely fine and the next you'll spend an entire day bent over a bucket or toilet. Obviously, this can take a heavy toll on a person, as patients are sometimes confined to their beds for days trying to just hold on, and no one is safe, as this syndrome affects all ages and is dangerous as Frequent vomiting is extremely tiring on your body. body and can cause severe dehydration.

Number five is Brainered Diarrhea. This affliction involves mysterious outbreaks of severe diarrhea, the first of which occurred in Brainered, Minnesota, in 1983. The Brainered outbreak affected 122 people and caused them to endure between 10 and 20 bouts of diarrhea every day, lasting about four weeks. Symptoms include gas, abdominal cramps, fatigue and weight loss and, most worryingly, can last between two months and three years. There is no treatment for this condition, but it will eventually go away without help. Only seven known outbreaks have been reported since 1983, six of them in the United States and one outbreak on a South American cruise ship.

The elderly are most commonly affected, but there have been several cases of children and young adults contracting it. Scientists aren't sure why this outbreak occurs, but they do know that it tends to appear in about 50 to 100 people every three years, possibly due to some type of bacteria or parasite outbreak. Well, I hope you have good odds. Number six is ​​the disease of the 20th century. The 20th century illness, more formally known as multiple chemical sensitivity or MCS, is a negative reaction caused by exposure to common chemicals used in modern products. Sufferers experience symptoms such as nausea, vertigo, anxiety, fatigue, headache, difficulty breathing, and inflammation when they encounter certain substances.

Problematic chemicals are incorporated into products such as plastics, paint fumes, petroleum, synthetic fabrics, and scented items, just to name a few. But the worst

part

is that there is no confirmed answer as to why this chronic medical condition exists and for some reason the symptoms only occur when the subject is aware of their exposure to harmful chemicals. Placebo tests have shown that patients will continue to show symptoms when there is no physical exposure, meaning there is likely a psychological factor. MCS can also be quite difficult to diagnose, since the symptoms involved are evident in many other

diseases

, and the environmental triggers are difficult to identify, because they are commonly found everywhere.

The number seven is pica. Pica disorder has an extremely strange effect on those who develop it. They begin to crave foods that have no nutritional value and are not traditionally eaten, or even edible. If you have pica, you will begin to develop an intense appetite for things like clay, dirt, plaster, paint, ice, hair, chalk, and metal, just to name a few. Just like in an episode of My Strange Addiction, people with pica disease will eat all kinds of disgusting and unhealthy things because they really want to eat them. That's right, imagine that you intensely want to eat plaster from the wall or the stuffing from the sofa cushions.

It appears to primarily affect pregnant women, young children, and people with developmental disabilities. However, doctors are not aware of the possible causes of pica, but it is speculated that it is the body's reaction to having a mineral deficiency. Interestingly, the name pica is actually the Latin word for magpie, which is a bird that seems to eat almost anything it finds. Number eight is bleeding calf syndrome. Bleeding calf syndrome is a disease that fortunately does not affect humans, but is a gruesome end for innocent calves. Calves suffering from this horrible syndrome will bleed profusely from the nose, ears and skin.

Like something out of a horror movie, calves that experience this will have blood coming out of every orifice and will eventually bleed to death. Once symptoms begin, there is little that can be done to treat them and calves usually die after a couple of days. It was first recorded in the UK in 2009 and until now scientists know that the bleeding is caused by the destruction of the bone marrow of calves. The bone marrow is responsible for creating platelets that help clot blood and prevent it from leaving the body. What is eating away at their bone marrow is a mystery, but it poses a threat to the species, with a mortality rate of 95% and a current death toll of more than 2,000.

Let's hope this doesn't transfer to humans. Number nine is Moebius syndrome. Moebius syndrome is a strange disease that affects the facial muscles, paralyzing them. If you had this, you would lose the ability to perform even the simplest facial actions, such as blinking, smiling, frowning, squinting, or even looking from side to side. This can cause facial structures to shift and droop, and can make people think they are hostile or mentally disabled. People with this syndrome have delayed speech due to difficulty moving their lips and tongue, but with therapy, most can reach a level of speech that is understandable to others.

However, as it progresses it causes much more serious problems, such as difficulty breathing and swallowing. Moebius syndrome is a genetic disease that can be inherited, but the most common and terrifying thing is that it occurs randomly, with no history of the disease in the family. This causes extreme difficulty when investigating it, since it does not follow much of a pattern, but it is speculated that it is formed as part of an environmental factor or genetic defect. And number 10 is Morgellons disease. Morgellons disease is a terrible affliction that affects the mind and leads sufferers to believe that something is biting or stinging them all over their body.

People who suffer from this believe that there are parasites all over their face and body. Another strange symptom involves reports of strange fibers protruding from skin that is made of cotton. This disease will cause you to scratch and peel off your skin, leaving large sores all over your body. The disease has occurred in children as young as two years old, but most commonly affects middle-aged white women. Surprisingly, Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell diagnosed herself as having Morgellons disease in 2010. While it is a serious affliction, not much is known or understood about the disease, making it even scarier.
