A 19 yea old man has started growing hair on his eye balls as a direct effect from a rare tumor called a limbal dermoid.
Apparently this was benign and had been apart of his life since birth



It gradually grew in size until it was about 5 mm in diameter (a little less than a quarter of an inch), and sprouted several black hairs, said the researchers from Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in Iran.


Article

These tumors are usually found in other parts of the body - Limbal Dermoids contain hair follicles but can also contain cartilage and sweat glands. This can cause blurred vision but it seems that the tumor doesn't cause severe vision problems because it doesn't cover the center of the cornea.

I would post a picture, but some people are squeemish with eyeballs.
Enjoy

Then it does not belong on a public forum

Your prerogative Sir, but the anthem of ATS is Deny Ignorance, unless you can back it up it means nothing.

Thirdly we cannot research on each and everything.

Quite true, but do you take what someone says as blind faith? Thats very trusting of you.

If you can please tell me what happens after death?

I would not be so conjectural, can you tell me?

I shouldn't have looked at the photo. I have a weird eye phobia, Things in eyes freak me out. I dislike going to the optometrist because of the puffed air (I swear there's dirt in that air), and the light shining.

That being said, thank you for educating us on such a strange medical condition. I had no idea this was possible. The human body is so odd and amazing.

If the moderator feels that my statement somehow breaks the T&C, he will remove my statement.


Your prerogative Sir, but the anthem of ATS is Deny Ignorance, unless you can back it up it means nothing.

I have literally seen threads titled 'Obama is an alien' and 'The earth is hollow'.
Now we all know that it is not true.
Then why are you not attacking those threads?
Are you trying to bash out at me because I am new?


Your prerogative Sir, but the anthem of ATS is Deny Ignorance, unless you can back it up it means nothing.

You must know that most materials on ATS are speculative.


Quite true, but do you take what someone says as blind faith? Thats very trusting of you.

I do not take 'what someone says as blind faith'.
Making statement does not mean that I take something that particular way.



I would not be so conjectural, can you tell me?

That's the damn point. You proved my statement that we cannot research on everything.
For ex:-We cannot tell if there are aliens in Pluto because we do not have the technology to properly search for life on that planet.

haha Roos.
Well before I unsubscribe to this thread(or it will cause farther disturbances) I wanna say thanks for this thread.
Not really a good news but fascinating to know that such uncommon things are also happening somewhere.
