Tears of Death

November 11th, 2009  |  by Theodore |  Published in Miscellany

Came across this horrific story at (the normally silly and unreadable) Babble today about a 2-year-old girl who goes into potentially lethal seizures every time she cries.

The girl has something called Reflex Anoxic Seizure, a syndrome that impacts about 8 children out of every 1,000, according to an extraordinarily unreliable Web search I just did.

How exactly do you keep a 2-year-old from crying? It’s impossible. Terrible stuff. I’m going to step away from my computer now.
