We like to feel like we’re in control of our destinies. There’s a certain sense of safety in the illusion that we’re in charge of, well, everything. Nothing could be further from the truth.
We’re definitely responsible for our actions and how we react to what life throws at us: it’s vital to take ownership for what we do. However, many things are completely outside of our control. What family we’re born in. What our genetics are like. How people treat us. What opportunities we’re presented with every day. Whether or not we get hit by lightning. A lot depends on luck and pure chance… and how we deal with surprises, good and bad.
Internet users shared their most epic one-in-a-million experiences in a viral r/AskReddit thread, and we’re featuring their very best stories with you, Pandas. The things that happened to these people are incredibly rare, and they make for great reading. So make sure you’ve got some popcorn ready. Which of these stories about incredible coincidences impressed you the most? Has anything similar ever happened to you? Tell us all about it in the comments.
Bored Panda got in touch with health and fitness coach Anna Armagno Toussaint, and we discussed the things that we can control. We also tackled the topic of genetics, beating feelings of jealousy when we see someone who has advantages that we might not, and how to move past failure after failure if it seems like nothing ever goes our way. You'll find our full interview with her below—don't miss out, Pandas.

"You can control what you put into your body. You can control your water intake and the foods you choose. You can choose to exercise or be sedentary. In most cases, there are good or bad decisions you can make. And the biggest one is that you can choose your mindset about things," health and fitness coach Anna told Bored Panda. However, some things are entirely outside of our control.
"That said, as someone with an autoimmune disease that I didn't choose, there are always hereditary factors that you may need to work around. Some people won't be able to make great choices. For a year I lived off mostly potatoes because that was what I could stomach. Staying positive is what got me through that," she revealed.
The coach pointed out that feeling jealous that someone has advantages that we don't is "totally fair," however, it also doesn't help you.

How I met my wife.
I’m from the Netherlands, she is from the US. We met in Israel.
It was my first weekend in Israel, decided to go on a pub crawl to meet some people and have fun, as I’m buying the ticket my now wife walks up to the counter to also buy a ticket. The girl working there introduces us, we hit it off the first night but I’m leaving in 2 days to stay with friends of friends in the middle of the desert for 3 months.
2 days after I leave I lose my phone, don’t have any way to get back in touch with her. I had little money and could stay/work with the people in the desert. But I kept thinking about her so after a week I say I’m leaving. Take the next bus (goes 3 times a week, at 5am) and then a train to Tel Aviv. I had no idea how to find her, where to stay and very little money.
I email a couple hostels to find a work/stay agreement, those jobs are very popular and usually planned months in advance.
I get an email back when I arrive in Tel Aviv, I can come in for an interview because they have a spot (this is already ridiculously lucky).
Right after the interview and dropping of my belongings. I went back to the first hostel to see if they would give me information, they wouldn’t give me anything.
Now I’m at a loss, Tel Aviv is a city of more than half a million people, I don’t know anyone and have little more than the clothes on my back.
Kind of defeated I start wandering around/exploring the city. After a couple hours I get hungry and decide to treat myself to a restaurant. I’m well out of the tourist area and find a place that’s almost empty and rather cheap. I sit down, order a drink and something to eat. As I get my food I see my now wife walking past the restaurant, she sees me I see her. I’m literally dumb struck and just kind of grin and wave (remember how I lost my phone? She didn’t know that and just thought I ignored her) she waves and keeps walking. I throw like 200 shekels (way too much) in the table and sprint after her, explained and the rest is history.

"I absolutely wish I didn't have to have digestive issues that took years to figure out and go through the pain and trial and error medication, but I also knew it could have been worse," Anna said.

Meanwhile, if you feel like you're stuck in an endless loop of failure after failure, it's vital that you reach out for assistance. A helping hand can make all the difference in the world. You don't have to do everything all on your own.

I was kidnapped when leaving work and held for 18 months, along with two other girls. The guy who took us claimed himself to be an ineffable lower god, and used cult tactics, manipulation and control to have us be his family. I was allowed to leave to the grocery store as an errand, but knew if I didn’t come back the others would receive my punishment. I finally got away by stabbing my captor when I believed he was going to kill me.

I bought my youngest daughter a mobile phone for her 13th birthday. Brand new outta the box a day later she gets a call from some lady saying that her number came up on her landline, my young girl hadn’t phoned any landlines and she said so to the lady. The lady rang back again and said she just checked and the number ,, my daughters,, was definitely on her phone. I took the phone and was about to tell the woman that my child had not rang her number and to stop calling her,,, anyway it turned out that the minute the lady spoke I recognised her voice. It was my sister,,, we hadn’t spoken to or seen each other in 15 years,, long story ,, but I couldn’t believe that my daughters brand new, never used phone would have my sister ringing her

I have a similar story to share. It was the late 80s and I was 10 years old. An older sister was teasing me about whether or not I had a girlfriend. As this was the era of land lines, prank calls were a ton of and I saw an opportunity to play a prank on my sister. I told her I had a girlfriend, her name was Tiffany and she was in my class. Tiffany was a real person, she was not my girlfriend. When my sister asked me to prove it I told her she could call Tiffany herself. So my sister dialed as I made up a number using one of the many 3 digit prefixes that existed in our community and 4 random digits for the end of the number. I thought it would be hilarious for my sister to ask for Tiffany and be told she had the wrong number - I don't get it now! Anyways, the phone rings, a woman answers and my sister asks for Tiffany. The woman goes and puts Tiffany on the phone. It is the Tiffany from my class, who was at a friend's house hanging out. She confirmed she was not my girlfriend.

I was also curious if it was a typo or a thing. According to my Google search, there are enough people too young to remember landlines but old enough to know about LANs that they're commonly confused.

My mum used to do Tupperware parties in the mid 80s to early 90s in northern England. She was really good at it, and we ended up with cupboards full of matching, stacking Tupperware. Nothing was left in packets, it was all transferred to the Tupperware. It's a shame that "parties" like this went out of fashion and Tupperware isn't what once was. There's still 30 year old Tupperware in my parents kitchen, going strong!
As paradoxical as it might seem—rare events happen all the time. Think of it as a math problem. There are countless things happening on Planet Earth every single day. It’s only a matter of time until something that we consider to be ‘rare’ occurs. Like someone getting struck by lightning and just walking it off. Someone surviving a plane crash. Someone winning the lottery. Or someone being born on a date that some would say bodes significance.
In other words, one-in-a-million events are at the same time extremely rare and very commonplace. This is something that one of the moderators at the r/nevertellmetheodds subreddit explained to Bored Panda earlier. You’ve got to keep an eye on probabilities and recognize the fact that many people believe in things like numerology magic.
"If you shuffle a deck of 52 playing cards, the arrangement you get is one in about 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. So it's super improbable if you look at it that way. But it's also kind of trivial, which is why we would remove a post that's just 'I shuffled this deck of cards and the result I got will never, ever happen again,'” they told Bored Panda.

No sure about the odds on this one, but I survived a “non-survivable” plane crash. I was on an old po-2 (famous for being very safe and uncrushable) on a tour of the desert in western China when I was like 7, my father’s friend who hosted me and piloted the plane didn’t survive but somehow I got out with a concussion and apparently passed out for almost a day In the middle of the dessert, in the wreckage of the crash, 50 km from the town/airport, on the edge of the desert. The people who found me were some tree planters (they plant greens in the desert to protect towns from sandstorm, a lot of people live in these desert towns in China do this) found me on there way picking up a shipment, and the only reason they looked was bc they were making a bet on how fast the egg would cook in the sand and went off the road to test.
So, according to my dads, the theory that I might have lived was because the plane was mostly made out of fabrics and wood. So when the plane crashed, the front half collapsed and took the majority of the impact. Though I got knocked out, I was probably covered under the wreckage and in the shades, it cooled me off enough to survive for a day or so!

I was struck by lightning while talking on a landline. This was in the early 90s. Lightning struck the telephone line and traveled through the handset to my ear.
My parents drove me to the ER. I couldn't talk very well. My brain knew what I wanted to say, but my mouth didn't want to say it. I had a terrible stutter.
My doctor told me that I had had a 'dose of good, old fashioned electro-shock therapy'. My speech was normal the next day, but I get a terrible headache whenever a thunderstorm comes through.

I am a 19 year old male. In August of last year, I was driving with my sister, when suddenly her face turned cold. “Gavin your eyes are yellow”, I remember her saying. I quickly pulled down the passengers mirror, and to my horror, two yellow eyes radiated back at me.
Fast forward, I spent a month being sick, the initial diagnosis was Hepatitis A.
Went back to the doctor, nothing was better(things were worse in fact). Was sent to the ER, then to the liver transplant unit at UCSF. By this point my eyes had turned muddy orange, and my pee was the color of... a mahogany tree.
Anyways, the team of liver doctors at UCSF managed to save my liver. I was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. Oh, and my eyes are white again :)

"That's obviously a trivial example, but think of things like, 'Yesterday I ate one egg for breakfast, found two pennies on the floor, passed three ambulances on my way to work, got four phone calls before lunch, and got five texts during lunch. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!' It sounds like numerology magic but really that person just ignored the nine socks in their drawer and the eleven emails they got in the afternoon because those didn't contribute to the 'miracle.’ Wild coincidences are one thing. Genuinely interesting ones that aren't trivial like the deck of cards or reverse-engineered like the 1-2-3-4-5 day at work are different and special,” the mod explained to us.
The people affected by these rare events, however, tend to think that they’ve been either incredibly lucky or have bad luck. Professor Suzanne Degges-White, from Northern Illinois University, explained to Bored Panda during a previous interview that believing in fate and luck are interwoven into our history as human beings.
"As long as there have been humans, there has been a desire to imagine that somewhere some thing or some being or some force is helping direct us along our paths to a positive destination. Many people want to believe in luck because that gives us hope that one day maybe it will be 'our turn' to win the lottery, find true love, be at the right place at the right moment."
One upside of believing in luck is that it helps people handle the disappointments that they’re faced in life. What’s more, it can keep our hope alive that a better future awaits us! However, at the same time, someone might use this as an excuse to take responsibility for their actions: they might say that they’re a victim of bad luck and _totally_ aren’t dealing with the consequences of their actions. So believing in luck becomes a double-edged sword if you give up on the idea that you have any control over anything.

Idk if this counts but i have died. One night around 11 pm i was trying to fall asleep but was just too hungry. I had just taken sleeping meds so i tried to cook some food fast before they kicked in. Unfortunately when I went to eat I accidentally aspirated a bunch of it and passed out. Everyone in my house was asleep but amazingly my sister just so happened to go to the bathroom at 3am and saw my light on underneath my door so she decided to investigate. She found me on the ground in full code and blue as a blueberry. She called 911 and they walked her through CPR. When the first responders arrived I was still in full code for another 2 and a half minutes but eventually was brought back. I spent 3 days in a coma and like 10 days in the ICU. If she wouldnt have gone to the bathroom in the middle of the night i wouldnt be typing this.

I officially died before I was born. I had a good heart rate throughout the pregnancy and I six days before my due date my mom just thought something was off. My heart rate was through the roof. So they pushed the labor or something and I was not having it and I flatlined. Then it came back and by that point they were beginning of a c section. But instead of being born on my moms birthday (8/10 August 10th) I was born on 8/4 (August 4th) so we joke it worked out. But I had a hole in my heart it “closed” and now I have heart issues and my heart goes to 140 when I do most anything.

I slept wrong one night and pinched a nerve in my neck so severely I lost the right side of my body, it just went silent like it wasn’t there for months. I woke up in the worst pain I’ve ever experienced and couldn’t talk, move or do anything. The ER doctor thought I was having a stroke.
My doctor had never seen a case as severe as mine and it was purely a freak accident. Recovery took months but I have use of my leg and hand again, with some numbness. Other than pain and spasms I’m mostly back to normal.

I had a similar experience. I was in a car crash and jammed my left wrist against the dashboard. The next day I had no feeling in my hand and I couldn't move it at all, it just hung there like a dead fish. ER did tests but couldn't find anything wrong with it. No pinched nerve or anything. It was like that for 2 weeks then I could move it. I still don't have all my grip strength back but I have all the feeling back and full movement. It was pretty scary.

And they never figured out why?? I wonder if they looked at the joints above the wrist. I was surprised when the ER docs didn't check out my toddler's hip or ankle when she refused to walk, only her knee. The specialist did X-rays from hip to toe. Maybe a pinched nerve higher up?

I had a pinched nerve last year and I'll never forget it. I was just lounging on my parents couch after Thanksgiving; I got up and felt horrible pain in my neck turning into numbness running down the right side of my body, to my hands. I foolishly assumed I just needed to "walk it off" or "stretch it out". It only got worse. I finally got better with a doctor's help, but at the time I was afraid I would have to retire.
Furthermore, the professor pointed out that “life has a funny way of confirming our self-biases.”
"If we believe we're going to fail at something, we've already set ourselves up for failure. Believing that we carry bad luck around like a cloud gives us a reason not to do our best, not to try our hardest, and to make it 'okay' to fail. While we'd think that a strong belief in good luck would work totally in our favor, there are drawbacks to this belief, too," she explained how this sort of thinking works.
"When we don't take ownership of our good choices, our effective actions, or our hard work, we are selling ourselves short. It's true that sometimes circumstances can 'work in our favor,' or we can meet the right person at the right time, but we still need to recognize our own part in taking advantage of positive circumstances or setting things up so that we can succeed." Taking ownership of good and bad decisions allows us to move past the idea that we’re ‘victims’ of life or luck.
"Research suggests that the people who have 'good luck' are just being more aware of their surroundings, making smart decisions based on current conditions, and actually 'believe' that good things will happen for them. That's a positive bias in our favor—we look for the good, so we're more likely to see it."

They're not "invasive", they don't have any other choice. As for many other wild species, we have destroyed their natural habitat so much that big cities are now the safest places for them to gather and get some rest. They might poop everywhere, but we've got to find a way to accomodate them because they'll be living there with us now.

I have the rarest type of synesthesia, lexical-gustatory. It means I taste words.

Back around when papyrus was being invented I had a schoolfriend who's mother perceived certain words as smells. The odd thing with these types of synesthesia is that the smells or tastes tend to have no logical connection to the meaning of the words. So for my friend's mother, the word 'car' would smell of oranges, 'flower' was gloss paint, and 'television' (but not 'tv' or 'telly') was the smell of wet dog.

I have color-taste synesthesia, which is significantly more rare than lexical-gustatory synesthesia (probably about one in one billion people). “Color-taste” means I can taste colors (some colors) when I see them. The more pure of a hue a color is, the more likely I can taste it. Hue: “a color that corresponds to a single wavelength of light in the color spectrum”. You could think of a hue as being a very specific color. There are 401 hues in the visible spectrum of light. There are millions of other colors that are some mix of hues. By the way, I’m really good at identifying colors and doing color matching. That helped when I worked for a printing company where we did very high-quality print jobs.

I've always wanted to ask someone synesthesia if it's overwhelming? Or is it fun /interesting /amusing? Or is it just normal to you? When I heard of this years ago I found it really cool, but I'm afraid it might be insensitive of me if it's a pain to live with.

I was on Tinder and was talking to this guy. He was supposed to meet me for dinner ,I texted him and no answer . Then I texted him on Tinder. Said that he couldn’t make it . However, I got a text back from the number . It wasn’t the guy that I thought I texted. It was the actor Gerard Butler. I thought he was lying until he FaceTimed me. Nice guy.
I didn’t go on a date with him instead. He lives on the west coast and I live on the east coast. I didn’t keep his number because I respect his privacy. When he FaceTimed me he was super casual and asked me why I was using Tinder and he wished me luck on it.

When I was 13, a friend and I got into a BB gun war. He put 2 BBs in the chamber and pumped it a bunch of times (breaking the traditional rules of warfare). He shot me in the face and both BBs hit an eyebrow (one per side) and ricocheted off my orbital bones into my eye sockets...again, one in each eye. I could feel them rubbing against the back of my eyes and went through 2 hours of surgery to have them removed. To this day, I’ve maintained perfect eyesight. Navy SEAL sniper couldn’t make that shot twice. So believe them when they say “you’ll shoot your eye out”...sometimes both of them.

Calling BS on this one. Your eye sockets aren't empty chambers with your eye rolling around like Mad-Eye Moody. There's tons of muscle, and the conjunctiva that's attached to the eyeball itself. A BULLET could penetrate, but a BB going that deep is impossible, ESPECIALLY with the mass of TWO BBs being ejected. Y'all are probably too faint-hearted to do it, but look up enucleation surgery pics.

Not me, my wife. We lived in Jacksonville, Florida. She rarely gets sick, but has mild insomnia. Around Wednesday, she had a low fever, and complained of aches and sweats at night and trouble sleeping. That weekend she wanted to see the Doctor... I told her she probably had the flu, just wasn't used the aches, and she always has trouble sleeping, but if she was still feeling bad Sunday we'd go to a clinic. Saturday night she couldn't sleep so we made an appointment for Sunday afternoon. But on our way there, sure enough she's feeling better. Doctor checks her out, she's feeling fine now, no fever, he says she probably had menangitis but is recovering. I'm due to go on a business trip to California the next day (Monday) and ask him if he thinks it's fine I go. He says, yeah, no problem. That evening, wife is eating and laughing and all is good. Monday morning I leave early. That afternoon, my neighbor calls, and lets me know my wife was wandering in the street in a delirium. My wife didn't know where she was, so the neighbor drove her to the ER. I book a flight home that night. The hospital checks her out. She has a fever, her blood cell count is in the basement, and she is completely out of it mentally. They're not sure what's wrong, and a bunch of specialists start descending on her. I have to fill out a bunch of paperwork on her medical history, where we've been, etc. They think maybe it's some weird auto-immune disorder. Not good. She gets a bunch of transfusions and put on a cocktail of meds while they figure it out. Third day in the hospital, the infectious disease guy comes in. Blood parasite. Maybe tick born, she'd been to the mid-West recently, coulda caught it if she went walking in the woods or a park. Next day he comes in. Figured out the parasite. "Why didn't you tell me she left the country?" Huh? She hasn't... "Well, she has malaria." Malaria? I thought you couldn't get that in the U.S. "You can't, you need to go home and bring me her passport." What the hell? I retrieve her passport... CDC comes, does a whole case study on her (which they wouldn't release to us). Mosquito traps setup around the neighborhood, mysterious vans start driving by spewing clouds of stuff. My wife stays in the ICU for a week, but recovers just fine. If you look at the 2010 CDC Infectious Disease report you'll see a discussion of malaria, and how the XX number of cases all are related to people recently returned from endemic areas, except for one woman in Duval County, Florida who received it from a cryptic vector... Found a CDC Malaria Surveillance report from that year: **Case 2.** In November 2010, a woman aged 31 years sought treatment at a hospital emergency department for fever, severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, and malaise. She was admitted to the ICU for severe hyponatremia, thrombocytopenia, tachycardia, borderline splenomegaly, and epistaxis. Both the hospital and CDC confirmed a *P. falciparum* severe malaria infection with approximately 10% parasitemia. She was treated with oral quinine, clindamycin, and oral doxycycline, and recovered successfully. Probable routes of transmission were investigated. The patient stated that she had not traveled outside of the United States during the preceding 2 years and had no history of malaria. In 2008, she traveled to Nicaragua and stated that she had received malaria chemoprophylaxis at the time of her trip. She reported no history of blood transfusion or IV drug use. Mosquito trappings conducted around her home in Florida revealed no *Plasmodium*-infected mosquitoes, and no additional malaria cases in close contacts or persons residing in the area near her home. The origin of the infection remains undetermined.

For a year now, he's been treated by a Functional and Integrative physician and has a way to go before he is "cured." Tick disease is a huge problem and our traditional medicine doctors don't recognize it.

Bless his heart and yours, truly. I contracted Lyme Disease in 2011,it took them 3 years to diagnose me with the weakest antibody test, but they dropped the ball on it and didn't follow up with the more specific testing like the lab report clearly said at the bottom of it. In the worst of the active infection I was on antibiotics and steroid injections for 13 months and I could tell that something had finally made a difference after that series, but they were only treating me for the side effects atm because they weren't aware that I had Lyme. By that time there had already been massive damage to my bones, joints, muscles, memory, digestive system, and immune system. Nothing has improved but some has maintained the level it was at. When I kept bringing up the Lyme to a different specialist, he acted like he hadn't run the test. After much insisting he had his nurse check and he found it and he sent me to the infectious disease specialist. Continued below.

I believe the doctors have gotten it wrong about how well malaria can hide out in the body. 40 years ago I had a run-in with a mosquito, caught a version that had **some** resistance to chloroquine--slipped past the prophylaxis, chloroquine would drive it into hiding but it would come back. We got back to the US and treated it with other drugs--but then ~20 years ago it came back. I was familiar with the symptoms (and it was mild) and figured it out myself, just went to the doc to confirm and get a script. In those intervening years I never set foot in the malaria zone, it must have been hiding out all that time. I strongly suspect what happened to your wife was she got it but the prophylaxis was enough to keep it from having any noticeable symptoms. It was hiding out, then for whatever reason broke loose again.

Ugh. My grandma had malaria back when she was a child, because in the 1930s it was still prevalent in Romania, especially around the Danube Delta. Killing all the mosquitoes with DDT in the 50s eradicated it though, so all the malaria cases we've had in recent years (~150 from 2004 onward) were contracted overseas.

When I was 14 years old, I woke up one day with heavy stomach cramps. We called the hospital and they told us that i probably have a stomach flu and should go to the doctor next morning. After one of the worst nights ever, vomiting and sleeping next to the toilet we went to the doctor. I had a fever of 40 °C and was aching a lot. The doctor told me I had to to go to ER and have it checked out because she thought my appendix was inflamed and causing the pain. We went to the ER and I stayed in the hospital for about 2 weeks, but they couldn't find anything. They treated me with broad range antibiotics and after 2 weeks I was feeling a bit better and they told me to go home and recover. The night i got back from the hospital I went to bed and started hallucinating that I lived in a retirement home and that pirates were coming to steal our food. So I was flailing around trying to fend of pirates when my mother came in and asked what all the fuss was about. I told her what was going on and she looked at me like I had summoned a devil. She took my temperature and she instantly took me to the ER again (I had a 41°C fever). When we went back to the hospital I got treated immediately for inflammation and they did a wide range of test again. They saw that something in my body was inflamed but they couldn't find it. I stayed in the hospital for about 2 more weeks when they finally found what was going on. My appendix was inflamed and burst the night I was having the hallucinations but on all the scans they couldn't see my appendix. The doctor told me that if I came in 2 days later I would have died because of the puss flowing in my body. Apparently there is a 1% chance of all the appendix cases that the appendix is so stretched out that they couldn't see it on the scans or that the area was so inflamed they didn't see it. So after staying on antibiotics for about 2 more weeks they finally removed my appendix and all the pain was gone. I stayed in the hospital for over 4 weeks just because of my appendix and my bad luck on being that 1%.

I had fever hallucinations more than 55 years ago and I can still recall the specifics. There was a chair with stuffing in my room and the stuffing was multiplying and filling up the room.

I lived in Florida for the first 18 years of my life and spent most of my free time outdoors, fishing, camping, what have you. The summer before my junior year of high school I found myself out hiking nearby by my home with a buddy. We were stomping around in some clay deposits inside of a little ravine (even minimal geographic relief is dramatic in a place as flat as the gulf coast) when it started to Florida rain (for those of you who can’t relate, imagine a torrential downpour). Our minds immediately jumped to the exciting possibility of a flash flood raging through the crevasses we were exploring. In an effort to make our day more exciting and not take any chances, we began to climb vertically out of the canyons versus take the lengthy path out of it horizontally. We got to the top, put our feet on the ground, and did pull up. As I stood up I felt the ground underneath me squirm. I had stepped on a snake.
I screamed and kicked the snake that was latched onto my foot off me by reflex. As an Eagle Scout, I immediately recognized the red on yellow pattern as the snake slithered away and knew it was a coral snake.
We rushed home, drove to the hospital, and was seen. The doctors informed my parents the nearest antivenin was a 3 hour helicopter ride away. The first symptom, lung failure, would occur after 2 hours. My parents called my friends and family and we all spent time together without me knowing my fate. My friends and family arrived and subsequently left together. My parents turned off the lights and we prayed together. Around 2 hours after being bitten, a nurse came in to our dark room with gurney to collect my dead body. I asked the nurse “has there been any developments?” to her surprise. The doctors came in, shocked I was alive, told me it was a dry bite, and that I should remain whatever religion I practiced.
Brocken Blue 3 years ago
Did the parents refuse further treatment? In what hospital do they just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ at potential lung failure and send in nurses later to clean up the bodies?
Lee Stone 3 years ago
This is a very bizarre story. We can easily treat lung failure through a wide variety of means. Coral snake venom affects the neurological system, temporarily paralyzing the muscles (including the diaphragm which is your 'breathing' muscle). We'd just put someone like this on a ventilator until we could treat the underlying cause. Even if the paralysis were permanent, we'd just punch a hole in your throat and place you on a more permanent type of ventilator. We can also directly oxygenate the blood and remove excess carbon dioxide through various forms of ECMO if the lungs happened to be too damaged to function properly. Besides, we'd still have the poor kid at least on a monitor of some sort. Maybe this occurred decades and decades ago, but even before the ventilator we at least had the iron lung since the late 1920s, so no reason this person wouldn't have received some kind of ventilatory support... unless the OP is well into their 100s.

When my allergist was preparing to start immunotherapy for me, he found that the in-office lab equipment wasn't sensitive enough to measure the infinitesimally small amount of allergen with which to start my titration, so he had to send a sample of my blood to Johns Hopkins so that *their* lab could determine how much to give me. I did immunotherapy for several *years* to reach an immune response level at which it would be safe for me to basically exist in a nonfrozen climate.
Good news, though: I'm good now. I've had a few run-ins with ants and wasps since my immunotherapy and my body didn't freak out and shut down, and research indicates that if it hasn't done that after this long, I'm *probably* safe for...maybe forever? I don't have Epi-Pens and I'm not overly afraid of ants or bees.

Nice! As much as immunotherapy sucks, it really is life-saving. I became severely allergic to cats in my early 20s.When I stayed with my sister who had 3 cats, I ended up having a severe reaction (was later told I should've gone to the hospital). I did immunotherapy for 3 years and now my sister and I live together with 4 cats and a dog. Literally changed my life.

I have completely unexplained hearing loss in my left ear. I had a cyst in it when I was 6, and the surgery to remove it and fix the ear was successful. When I was about 12, I woke up one morning with a killer headache and ear ringing, and after 3 days it went away and so did my hearing. Doctors did multiple examinations and an MRI and they said it should be totally functional, it just isn't. 1 in a million case.

Keep trying! It took a year to figure out what was wrong with my hearing. A pseudo tympanic membrane that escaped detection. Surgery to fix it scheduled for Monday to fix it once and for all.( hopefully).

Bought three dollars worth of pong balls at one of those games at the state fair. I think it was 10 balls, and the grand prize is in the middle and you have to land it in a small glass container. I was having fun and just decided to throw it by flicking my wrist in a weird way. It bounced around for awhile and landed right in the red glass container, which was the grand prize. Even the worker was surprised that I got it! Had to walk around the state fair with a giant charmander plush toy after that.

The first one I don't know about the exact odds, but I was born on 7/7/77 and weighed 7 pounds & 7 ounces. Sadly though I clocked in at 6:50 A.M.
The other is that around the age of 14 I started to notice the outsides of both of my feet starting to get much wider. After a couple of years of buying expensive custom made shoes they decided to perform surgery on my feet. Turned out I had extra muscle growth along with something else I don't recall at the moment. My podiatrist told me he submitted a scholarly article on it. May also have been genetic as when my Dad was 3, he developed an extra toe growing out of each one of his big toes.

Something similar happened to my younger sister, one of those brain farts that stay with you forever... We were both at home at noon alone during a school day (we were both at home as she already had finished her classes and although I went to a full time secondary school, I was on antibiotics as I was fighting a sore throat and had a horrible fever so stayed in bed, we were ~ 14 & 16 YO). I heard a scream an sprinted to the kitchen, she was making pumpkin puree with a hand blender, passed the finger between the blades to take out the puree that stuck there and pressed the on button for a second. Yeap, it was still plugged in. I torn an old t-shirt, made a tourniquet (thank you scouts!), left a message for my mom -she had a pager!- and rushed to the hospital. Luckily, the blade missed the nerve and she only got a few stitches. We still laugh about how I suddenly "sobered up" and reacted so focused during that time when a minute before couldn't even stand upright. Sisterly love ♥️

I have a very rare skin disease that only one in a million people get. I've been told that I'll probably never meet another person in my lifetime with it.
*Hailey-Hailey disease for those interested.*
For those asking:
1. I was diagnosed by a team of dermatologists. They had to take a biopsy of one of my many outbreaks. A picture of that particularly horrible rash is currently in a medical journal, or so I've been told.
2. Yes, it is a very painful disease.
3. Yes, I get steroid injections for it. I also get Botox injections to control sweating and prevent some of my outbreaks.
4. No, I don't know if you have this disease. You have to get a biopsy.
5. Yes, it's inherited. My mother was a carrier, and I've been told my grandmother had the disease for more than half her life.

My SIL's nephew was born a few months after my first child was born and he had a serious disease where his skin would blister, red rash, peel, and come off easily with touch. He could barely have any kind of fabric touch him, diapers, wipes, soaps, lotions, or people touch him. I remember feeling heartbroken for his family. He was a only child, late in life baby, because she had so much difficulty becoming pregnant and carrying the child to term. I know with age he got a little better. I don't know about any medications or anything like that. It was a couple decades ago. Essentially he was a child similar to the bubble boy for a long time. He had many other health issues also such as severe reflux and a few other things, but the internal problems were not anything compared to his skin condition. I can't recall the name of what he was born with sadly, we lived in a different state and she divorced from their family member. So I didn't hear as much about him after he was a few years old.
Cold Contagious 3 years ago
It's possible that he was what is often called "a butterfly baby" it's a term for a condition that sounds similar to everything I remember him having. There was real concern about his life and even to what age he would live, but he did have some improvement with age. I know what I read says that less extreme cases can improve some with age and helps with the overall impact on health and lifespan. I hate that we lost contact, but there was a lot of animosity between the SIL and them. I hope he continued to improve.

When I was a kid, I was chilling in the water of the Mediterranean Sea in Turkey. Suddenly I felt an awful burning sensation on my stomach and my legs. I looked like I had been brutally sandpapered and I got a 40°C (104°F) fever.

I fell of the edge of a cliff once (not the kind with a sheer drop at the edge but a cliff nonetheless). I fell backwards (lost my balance from carrying a large rucksack) and fell 15 feet head first. My head landed 2 inches beside a rock. Whenever I think about it, I could've been probably badly injured (or even died) if my head smashed that rock.

When I was a teenager I had just started working at the local Sears auto center Express lube shop and on day one did a quick orientation and my first oil change. The manager walked away when he felt I was good to go and the oil change went well. Fast forward a few days later my manager asked me to come into his office and he explained that the oil filter I had used had one huge flaw. I didn't know what that was and it turned out the filter was pressed on backwards into the filter can and it wouldn't allow oil to flow in and it damaged the motor. They had to purchase a new motor for the person and I still kept my job. He said it was a 1 in a million chance that would have happened and it did on my first oil change.
Vanessa Richardson 3 years ago
That’s not necessarily true; some filters have oil drain-back valves which would not function properly if installed backwards. Aside from that, OP makes it sound as if the filter was pre-installed backwards by the manufacturer—whether it’s OP’s fault or manufacturer, it still isn’t that rare. Lol

It ensures that all human activity in Antarctica is carefully planned and managed. It enables a range of human activity to take place in Antarctica including scientific research, well-managed, environmentally sensitive tourism, and exploration. Crucially, the Protocol prohibits commercial mining and protects vulnerable areas, animals and plants. The Antarctic Treaty does not prevent tourists, military personnel or scientific researchers from being present in Antarctica - but they do require an appropriate permit from a Treaty Party.

I was on the list of a serial killer but turns out he was captured just after murdering the person listed before my name. For context, I regularly spend my time at a soup kitchen, where I caught the ire of an apparently deranged person that would ask me for ridiculous sums of money on a daily basis as I would dole out healthy portions of soup. He would start by asking for a million dollars, which I would laugh and then the next day ask for $100,000 dollars. He would always give me weird eyes after I would say no, but after 6 days of going through the exercise of asking for money, he finally came down to a number I considered realistic. As I smiled and started pouring the soup, this deranged homeless many asked for three fifty and it was about that time I noticed, this hobo was about 8 stories tall and a crustacean from the protozoic era. I said damn it monster get off my lawn i ain't given you no treefiddy. Must have been 1 in a million.
