It is actually a rare psychological disorder, where people who are afflicted with this disease tend to feel that they no longer alive but already dead. Psychiatrists are still baffled on how to address this disorder.
8. Cold Allergy
This type of allergy is not deadly but is really weird and bizarre. A person who has this condition develop severe skin rashes and even swelling when exposed to cold weather – especially upon the onset of winter. The body produces histamine (allergens) once exposed to low temperatures, which is still not understood even by the most modern hospitals up to now.
7. Tree Man Syndrome
This disorder is genetic in nature -0 an abnormality that stems from a person’s genes and is congenital in nature. This disease is characterized by the body producing too many warts. Aggravated by sunlight, it also turns malignant and destroys healthy skin as time passes by.
6. Vampire Syndrome
The normal skin tends to benefit from sunlight as it gives the body Vitamin D – which all human beings essentially need for normal body function. However, this syndrome is different. A person who has the vampire syndrome develops rashes and cuts from exposure to sunlight. Hence, people who have this tend to keep in the dark and away from the direct heat of the sun.
