People That Cry BLOOD by Nobody: 10:45am On Dec 14, 2013
[color=#000099][/color]A very good portion of the population cries much like the rest of us with the exception that it isn't tears falling from deir eyes-it is blood even creepier,it is mostly found among resident of Tennessee in USA and it is considered a medical mystery-a rare condition that causes a person to bleed from the eyes without xplanation. Medical professionals have given it the name 'haemolacria'. A 22yr old man says it feels like being 'hit in the head with a sledge hammer',adding that he used to get daily headaches that accompanied bleeding from his eyes, his name is Micheal Spann,a resident of Antioch Tennessee.
Doctors are perplexed as to the cause of the condition, in a 2004 medical review co-authored by Dr. Barrett G. Haik of the university of Tennessee's hamilton eye institute,it was described as 'bloody tearing',a condition that often confounds most doctors. Haik went on to conclude that 'cases typically resolve without treatment'. But others point to hormonal changes as the culprit especially as it is more rampant among women. A 1995 study of 125 healthy subjects determined that mensturation contributes to haemolacria or traces of blood in tears. It went on to report its finding that '18% of fertile women have some blood in their tears,while only 7% of pregnant women,8% of men and no post menopausal women show signs of bloody tears'. The cause of these rare situation still baffles medical professionals all over the world.
