Gita: The "Crying Blood" Indian Woman
Gita, a 21-year-old Indian woman from Bihar, has been outcast and accused of witchcraft due to her rare condition. Her condition causes her eyes to "sweat" blood, leading to the unfortunate nickname of "witch." Deserted by her husband, Gita's health continues to deteriorate as the condition spreads to other parts of her body.
Phakamad Sangchai: Thailand's Bleeding Girl
In 2016, seven-year-old Phakamad Sangchai of Thailand made headlines as her eyes, nose, and ears bled spontaneously. Her condition also included bleeding and sweating from her skin whenever she experienced headaches. Despite receiving medical attention, Phakamad continues to suffer from this baffling ailment.
Hematidrosis: A Mysterious Condition
Hematidrosis, or blood sweat, is a rare condition where sweat mixes with blood and emerges through unbroken skin. The condition often affects the face and forehead. It is believed to be triggered by extreme fear or stress, which causes the release of chemicals like adrenaline. These chemicals can rupture capillaries, allowing blood to leak through sweat glands. Some speculate that it may also occur during menstruation when blood exits the body through channels other than the uterus.
Causes and Treatment
Little is known about hematidrosis, but it is generally considered non-life-threatening. Treatment involves identifying the underlying causes, which may include anxiety or depression. Antidepressants or sedatives may be prescribed to help control the condition.
