Woman's Rare Condition Causes Her to Sweat Blood, Doctors Report
By Rachael Rettner, Senior Writer | October 23, 2017 03:28pm ET



A young woman in Italy has a rare and mysterious condition that causes her to sweat blood, according to a new report of her case.

The 21-year-old told her doctors that, over the last three years, she periodically experienced bleeding from her face and palms, without any cuts or skin lesions. These bleeding episodes typically lasted about 1 to 5 minutes, and were more intense when she was under emotional stress.

I wonder how folks with this condition would have been treated in Medieval times...?

Burned at the stake... or stoned to death...?
