Not so long ago, the famous medical journal "New Scientist" published an article that was devoted to the strangest scientific phenomena associated with the human body. All these phenomena have been published by scientists in different parts of the world at different times.
Allergic reaction to ordinary water
It's not a secret for anyone that almost 60% of humans are water. As strange as it may sound, some people develop allergies precisely when their skin comes into contact with water.
Aquagenic urticaria.
No, of course, such people can drink water without problems. But as soon as they wash their hands or take a shower, bright red spots begin to form on the surface of the skin, which, among other things, itch. Scientists have decided to name this type of disease "Aquagenic urticaria". The first people with such a disease were discovered back in 1964, but since then no one has been able to find an explanation for this phenomenon.
Creepy Chimera People

Today, artificial fertilization of an egg has become popular. The chances of a woman getting pregnant are quite high, but at the same time, giving birth to a terrible monster is also not excluded.
As a result of such fertilization, very often children are born, in whose body two people are collected at once. These genetic mutations occur when an egg that has been fertilized by a sperm cell wants to divide, but not completely. Many believe that in this way nature is trying to say that this woman should not have had children.
The strange appearance of a foreign accent
A strange phenomenon happened in 1941 with a girl from Norway. During another bombing by German troops, she fell into a state of shock.
After she got better and came to her senses, he continued to speak Norwegian, but at the same time it seemed as if she had lived in Germany all her life, since her accent was very noticeable. Scientists put forward hypotheses about brain damage as a result of severe shock, but they cannot give exact explanations.
Morgellonian disease
Today, a huge number of people suffer from this terrible disease, but scientists have never invented drugs. Tumors and inflammations appear on the skin, which constantly itch.
At the same time, sometimes patients can feel a certain movement under the skin. Such phenomena should indicate the presence of parasites in the human body, but not a single test has revealed them. Some scientists believe that the focus of the disease lies in the brain, since patients themselves invent these symptoms. But other scientists hypothesize that it is possible that there are parasites in the body that are almost impossible to detect.
George's Royal Madness
George III, who at one time ruled Britain, suffered from a terrible disease, in which the worst mental disorders manifested themselves. Not infrequently, doctors had to put on a straitjacket on their sovereign, since his actions defied explanation. Local doctors could not make accurate analyzes, so they tended to believe in a genetic disease that could not be cured. But be that as it may, they tried to invent a serum that would restore sanity to their king.
In 2005, scientists were able to examine the hair follicle of the king's head. The results surprised them greatly, since there was a lethal concentration of arsenic in the body of the ruler. Most likely, he was persecuted for a long time in order to overthrow him from the throne, or doctors, due to their inexperience, used arsenic as a basis in the preparation of medicines.
The ever-stinking finger
In early 1996, the mystery of a young guy appeared in the scientific world. At 29, he is the only person in the world who has emanated a terrible stench from his finger for five years.
It all started the moment he accidentally punctured his finger with a chicken bone. The most interesting thing is that the terrible smell could be smelled even at a great distance. And if a man stayed in the same office with other workers, then they could not sit in a closed room with him even for several minutes. No treatment helped until one day the ailment disappeared on its own.
Man with bark instead of skin
This terrible phenomenon is common in third world countries. Often people who live near the jungle can grow crusts that resemble tree bark.
Fortunately, scientists were able to sort out this problem. This is due to a special type of virus that infects the skin after entering a weakened body through drinking water. Of course, not every person can become infected with such a disease, but about 3% of the total population can gradually turn into a tree without proper treatment.
