30 Things That Make People Statistical Anomalies, And It Shows How Bizarre Biology Can Be
Human beings are a bit of a puzzle. There’s a paradoxical desire for connection with others while also staying unique. On the one hand, each and every single one of us has unrepeatable life experiences and relationships. On the other hand, there’s nothing new under the sun. There are tons of commonalities to be found between us and the people living all over Earth, from our similar wants and needs to psychology and biology.
However, some people have such bizarre genetics and medical histories that they feel like anomalies. Today, we’re featuring some internet users’ stories about some of the things that make them statistically rare, including niche allergies, biological quirks, and surviving against the odds. Scroll down to have a read.

I’m an 18 month survivor of Stage 3 pancreatic cancer and currently in complete remission.
Wow that's amazing. Pancreatic cancer has a roughly 5% recovery rate.
I'm not part of the 77% of felons that went back to prison within 3 years of getting out. 7.5 years and going strong.
That's the statistic in the US. More modern systems who use rehabilitation rather than imprisonment are MUCH lower. UK has a reoffending rate of 25% after 5 years. Neither prison nor death penalty are deterrants.
I think the biggest struggle is not being able to work after incarceration. Like what are we expecting them to do? Whither and die?
Load More Replies...Perhaps some of the 23% who did not return stayed out because they were never guilty in the first place.
Prisons run for profit have a large disincentive to rehabilitate their inmates.
Those statistics really depend on the country. In some countries you only get thrown in jail and let out, without receiving any help in how to not do it again. In other countries you get therapy and a lot of guidance to prevent you from making the same choices. That probably has quite an effect on the statistics.
I lost 110 lbs, it's been 20 years now and I've not gained any back.
That's amazing! Shredding the extra weight is hard, but keeping it off is harder! Chapeau to OP
Congrats! I've known overweight people who claim to be trying to lose weight, but pile on the food at every meal like they may never see food again. Just reduce intake! There is no competition to win. Your reserves will last weeks!
Pollen, dust, animal, and certain food allergies (e.g., to nuts, shellfish, and dairy) are fairly common. But their severity has a huge range. You probably know someone who has hay fever (hey!) or can’t be around cats or dogs for a long while without sneezing (hi again!). Or you may have a person in your life who has to carry around an EpiPen in case they get stung by a bee or accidentally ingest food that has traces of nuts.
Other allergies are incredibly rare. So rare, in fact, that you may not even have heard of them before. According to Penn Medicine Becker ENT & Allergy, some of the most uncommon allergies known to medical science include water allergy, also known as aquagenic urticaria. In short, people who suffer from it develop itchy and painful hives when their skin comes into contact with water. So, they have to limit their exposure as much as possible.
According to my grandma I’m the smartest young man alive.
All grandmas say that, but you are in her eyes and that is what counts.
The last time I talked to my grandmother (video call from JPN to US) "My lord Lost Panda, you got old" (Only been 2 years since I saw her in person last XD)
I am born on the same date as my dad and great grandpa.
When I was a teen I used to babysit for a family with three kids. First their eldest, a daughter, was born on her grandmother's birthday. Three years later, they had fraternal twins also born on the same date.
10 months after a significant date maybe? Like their anniversary or the parents birthday? Or a blizzard? 😇
Load More Replies...I was born on the same date as my father and maternal grandmother ... so technically, I was a birthday present ...
My mother was born on the same day as Woody Allen. I was born on the same date as Robert Downey Jr and Graham Norton.
Survived premature birth without any defects
Edit: For all those wondering I was born 4 months early at 1 pound 6 ounces.
Same! (I mean, I am autistic with seasonal allergies, but those are genetic and unrelated to being a preemie).
Me.too I was 6 month amd.weighed a big if auger here in UK 22 cms.from.head to toe I as in hospital.for 9 months ironically before I could go home
Had a coworker years ago, his daughter was a premie. When he and his wife had to file for medical bankruptcy, due to over a million dollars in medical bills. He said she was their million dollar baby and worth ten times that. Last I heard, he and his wife went through some rough financial times. But have gotten back on their financial feet. @#$ing insurance companies 🤬🤬
My mom was born almost 4 months early in the 1950s and some how survived.
Another very rare allergy is sun allergy, aka polymorphous light eruption (PMLE). Similar to aquagenic urticaria, PMLE means that people’s skin develops hives, but this time when exposed to sunlight, not water. People with PMLE have to avoid exposing large areas of their bodies to the sun and manage their symptoms with the help of sunscreen and antihistamines.
Some other rare allergies include cold urticaria (allergy to cold temperatures, whether that’s air, water, food, or beverages) and exercise-induced anaphylaxis (allergy to exercise which means you may need to have emergency adrenaline shots if you’re too physically active). And in some cases, you can find individuals who have cholinergic urticaria (sweat allergy) and nickel allergy (essentially, an allergy to coins).
I was cured of Stage 3b lung cancer.
I actually had an allergic reaction to a vaccine as a kid. I passed out and stopped breathing. I almost died. I had a speech impediment as a kid that was probably a result of lack of oxygen to my brain during the incident. True allergic reactions like this are one in a million.
I couldn’t finish my vaccines and can’t get boosters shots because the chance of another reaction is higher than the chance of me actually contracting anything we vaccinate against. Or it was, until we starting losing our herd immunity. If I had kids I’d still vaccinate them.
This is exactly the kind of person that mass vaccination produced herd immunity protects.
Vaccines are all about the other people. Ant-vaxxers are all about only themselves. Anti-vaxxers are extremely selfish.
Load More Replies...Considering what we now know about so called 'vaccines', that are just SHOTS that have not be well tested, I'd NEVER get another one nor have my kids get them. TOO RISKY!! The side effects are GOD AWFUL!! Look it up before you do something stupid.
it's funny how some can claim my body my choice, but not others.
I was one of the few Romanian orphans to receive a good life.
That was such a horrifying chapter in world history - I'm glad you've made it!
I would hope that most who were brought out of Romania have lived a good life.
What makes you a statistical rarity or total anomaly, dear Pandas? Do you have any bizarre allergies? Were you born with any genetic quirks? Have you ever been in a million-to-one situation?
How have all of these niche experiences affected your life? Would you rather be one-of-a-kind or have more things in common with everyone else? Let us know in the comments!

I can fold a fitted sheet.
I just stuff the whole set into one of the pillow cases!
Load More Replies...It's easy, you just start from the middle and whatever happens to the corners, that's their tough luck.
I can too. It is really not so much witchcraft. There are youtube videos how to do it, it takes some trying but then it is easy. I am a middle aged man and that makes me apparently somewhat weird but i can not have my fitted sheets not lining up with the duvet cover and pillow cases, it makes me mad 😡
It's wicked to fold some at a in busy Laundromat and have people watch. People do give you the side eye as if you're a witch 😂
Load More Replies...I like to watch someone fold fitted sheets for the same reason I enjoy watching a magician saw his assistant in half. I know it can't really be done, but I enjoy seeing someone create the illusion.
I'm allergic to the chemical released when fresh oranges are peeled. That first spray when you open an orange will put me into anaphylactic shock. Super specific, super rare when the allergy is that severe. Bad oranges.
Upvoted for awareness; I have a similarly uncommon allergy that could be fatal if not treated properly!
Onion allergy here. Start to get unwell just by the smell of it. Getting really sick when I am eating some. Good thing is, I taste or smell (even though my smelling sense is not very good usually) the tiniest amount hidden in any dish, so I can spit it out and won't suffer really bad. Worst thing: eating out or frozen veggie mixes, actually most frozen, canned or cooled convenience food is banned as there is always onions in it.
OMG! I have this too! My first job out of calling was working in a collectiona call center for a huge credit card company and for Christmas they handed out two oranges to all 800+ employees. And about ten minutes later almost all of them were peeling them. I've never experienced that before, but couldn't breathe and barely got outside to fresh air. I honestly thought I was the only person with this random allergy.
Wait so can you not eat them or is it just when it is first peeled?
My mother was born with an upside-down uterus. They told her it would be impossible to have a child. I was born with my umbilical chord wrapped three times around my neck, and was presumed dead. Yet here I am with no birth defects- perfectly healthy. I was paraded around the hospital as a miracle child. Having been born in a small town, everyone always told me I was going to grow up to do miraculous things.
I feel as though I uh... have not lived up to the hype.
Edit: wow this really blew up. Thanks for the kind words everyone. Don’t worry I’m a happy guy.
Bonus fact: I actually had a twin brother, but there wasn’t enough food for the both of us. My chances were 50/50 from the get-go. I live my life not only to live up to the expectations set for me, but also for my brother who never got to live his own.
thats the thing.... you do grow up to do miraculous things, everyone does, You get to grow up to be YOU, There's never going to be another YOU~
OP already did a miraculous thing, by being born. Just live a happy life.
I have sickle cell anemia.
My skin is white.
Ive had doctors ask me ‘are you sure you have sickle cell? Want to be retested?’ This has happened 6 times that I remember. Ive never seen my mom angrier lol.
People may not know how rare this is. Trust me, it's very VERY rare.
Im albino and have Anemia I'm surprised i didn't have a sickle cell as at times My hair and skin blend {actually color in my eyebrows cause if I didn't, I would look like they were shaved }
But it’s not common in light-skinned folks. So it’s not really a surprise, is it?

Being reasonably well-adjusted despite spending years as a foster kid where some of the homes were abusive.
Yeah, I was in care, moved around 11 times in 13 years, abusive parents, foster parents, lived in care homes etc, and I seem quite level headed. I mean, I’m depressed to buggery, and have mental health issues, but I’ve coped.
THIS IS WHY I ADOPT, I have had so many kids that came from abusive foster homes... It's sad.... some times I only get them as they're almost 18..... I treat them as if I were their birthfather, I don't care if they live with me a bit before heading to the world, I make sure they get everything to start, and the younger ones....... I just see every abused kid or adult as one of my own kids~
This must of been so difficult some.kids dont get chance to be kids
This post makes me both angry and sad at the same time. I have a male friend who had a similar childhood.
I’m chimeric, except, I have two twins. I’m walking around with my fraternal twin brothers DNA and identical twin sisters spinal tube next to my spinal tube. I was supposed to be three individuals.
Weird one, but the fact that one set of twins was identical and one non-identical (fraternal) means the description is accurate.

I found out I had synesthesia the first time I got into an argument about how Wednesday is green.
I have it with a certain shade of blue. I tastes like rusty iron and wallpaint.
I'm not doubting you, I'm just really curious how you know what rusty iron and wallpaint taste like?
Load More Replies...Wednesdays are definitely green, but Fridays are brown. Monday's red, Tuesday a very light sunny green. Saturday's white and Sundays are naturally yellow.
1 is yellow, 2 red, 4 and 8 are blue, 6 is green , 7 is purple, etc
Because Wednesday IS green. And Friday is black, Saturday is brown, Sunday is grey, Monday is yellow, Tuesday is blue.
Nope, Wednesday is definitely green though. Monday is a sloth orange-ish red, Tuesday is pale sky blue, Thursday is a pastel pinkish purple, Saturday is bright yellow, and Sunday is orange-yellow.
Load More Replies...1: yellow, 2: apple green, 3: red, 4: indigo, 5: also red, 6: lavender, 7: yellow but different yellow. I could go on but I don’t really want to.
I’m naturally a redheaded, blue eyed, left handed human and the only one in my family with those characteristics.
My partner is also a natural redhead, with blue eyes and is left handed. He had no idea that is was as rare as it is. (per google: According to current estimates, only around 0.17% of the world population are natural redheads with blue eyes and left-handed, making it a very rare combination; this is because both red hair and blue eyes are considered recessive traits, and left-handedness also falls into that category, meaning the odds of having all three together are significantly low.)
I am a leap day baby! Coming up on 6 years old. :).
I married on Leap Year's day and lost my husband a few months before our 7th anniversary. He was really good at remembering and only forgot once every four years
I have a cousin born on a leap day as well. Chronologically, 44 YO, but in teory 11 YO.
Went to school with a guy and both he and his 4 years older sister are leap day babies. None of them were supposed to be though. His sister was born 2 weeks overdue and he was born 8 weeks prematurely.
Adding a day to the calendar every four years is confusing?

I suffered a stillbirth last year... which is sadly not that rare.
But the autopsy discovered the cause was a disseminated herpes infection which I contracted from my partner.
Intrauterine herpes infection is very rare. For it to cause death is very rare. Neither of my two OBs, the perinatologist, nor the pathologist has ever seen a case of it. Not only that, I had no symptoms at all - never experienced an outbreak, had normal CBC, etc. The pathologist could only find cases where the mother also had a disseminated infection which passed to the baby.
My doctor said it’s the medical equivalent of being struck by lightning.
The good news is that this did not put future pregnancies at risk, since this typically only happens during a primary infection. I am now 36 weeks with another baby boy and other than being on preventative acyclovir, they are not concerned for him.
I’m on it now, I got herpes virus infection in my eye. *le sigh*
Load More Replies...I lost a stillborn to GBS infection. Everone said that was not dangerous as it couldnt enter the fetal sac. It could.
Hmmm... There are a few things... I have centralized heterochromia, which is a mutation of a mutation... Of a mutation. On top of that, it's hereditary and not linked to any horrific condition that's normally linked to hereditary centralized heterochromia.
However, if you want incredibly rare...
My wife is alcohol intolerant. I didn't learn about it until she recounted a tale about her grandmother trying to calm her down as a baby by putting whiskey on her gums. Yeah, she calmed down alright... Then her face turned blue and she wasn't breathing. This anomaly is rather rare. But what makes this crazy? My dad is allergic to alcohol, which is very similar but just as rare! Not just grain alcohol, he's allergic to isopropyl as well. He can't even have it on his skin for too long, otherwise it will start burning. There was even a malpractice suite because a doctor didn't believe him when he said he was allergic. Her words were, "It's not possible to be allergic to alcohol." I won't go into details, but the doctor almost fainted and my dad has an insane scar because of it.
This with chocolate for me, Not just chocolate, but the actual Cocoa bean so even the slightest touch of chocolate, or anything that uses any of the cocoa tree/bean I burn like a demon with holy water..... {doesnt stop my stepmom from sending me tons... she once tried to kill me and left me for dead bleeding out, so sadly this is her only way to "try" claiming "I'm old I forgot"!}
I also have central heterochromia. My eyes are blue but they have a ring of gold around the iris. What makes me super rare is that I'm the only one in my entire family.
I'm a colorblind woman. Apparently, it's 8x rarer in women than in men.
My (male) partner was colour blind and it also caused him to not be able to tell left from right. One of his Grandfathers was so colour blind that he grew up thinking the world was just shades of grey.
I was present the two times the US was attacked on American soil. I lived in Pearl City, Hawaii just outside of Pearl Harbor when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on 12/7//1941,. I worked in the Pentagon when a missile strruck it on 9/11/2001.
Edit: To all those correcting me, yes it was a plane and not a missile. In my very old age I get confused sometimes. When I evacuated the Pentagon as ordered, I could see the part of the plane that was sticking out of the side of the Pentagon. Took me a hell of a long time to get home because of the incredible traffic jam that occurred in the aftermath.
I'm glad you survived both times....but please never come to my house
Reminds me of the Japanese bloke (Tsutomu Yamaguchi) who was in Hiroshima when the first bomb dropped, and survived; then went home to his family in Nagasaki in time for the second one.. He died in 2010 aged 93.
I drove into work on 9/11 having just left the Pentagon for a new position a week before. Traffic was insane and I didn't have a cell phone to call anyone. Three days later I was finally able to get a call out to my mother to let her know I didn't work there anymore. She was frantic. I still remember the drive home from work that afternoon. It was a ghost town on the Beltway...never seen anything like it! It was eerie!
Wasn't it an American Airline flight 77 passenger plane that was highjacked by Muslims and purposely flown into the Pentagon kil*ing 184 people
Only a grumpy old man would complain about traffic after a suicide plane crashes into a building.
Instead of sweating I just get really really cold when working out. So far no health problems just a cool way to freak out my friends.
I got a bit better, but I used to never sweat n'either, despite almost passing out from a heat stroke, my brain just ... doesn't tell my body to start sweating? Very debilitating. And when I get extremely overheated, I start to actually feel really cold. Super weird. I quickly learned during summer that when I'm hot and all of a sudden get really cold, I need to take immediate action because a few minutes later I'll be so ill that won't be able to think or speak or walk anymore. It really sucks.
Watch out for heat stroke. Seriously, that's one of the signs. Inability to cool self while overheating internally = gonna have a bad time. Also maybe look at blood pressure & iron levels.
My partner could not sweat. It meant that when he became hot he was likely to pass out.
So, like the blood and warmth goes to your core? Do you have a hard time building muscle?
Benign brain tumor that may have been sitting there my whole life.
my doctors say lots of people could be walking around and not even know it so who knows how rare it is.
I don't think this is that rare. I had a stroke, and due to having an MRI, brain tumor was discovered. I also have a friend who had a benign tumor near her ear that did start to grow. She had to have it removed. She said it is more rare that doctors have to treat it than having a tumor.
My dad has a brain tumor. It may have been there all his life. If it is growing, it is very slow. He’s 83 and his current plan is to die of something else before it becomes a problem that interferes with his golf game.
My sister had a tumour in her brain, bigger than a golf ball. 9½hours of surgery to Tickle it away from her brain. She still with us, still her, which is a miracle after such intense brain surgery, and no more issues. It would have exploded and killed her if it wasn't found. Only symptoms was a tight neck and head
I have one of those too - and a tumour in my liver. Both benign and probably been there since birth.
My height. I'm around 6ft, which isn't that amazing, except that I have just turned 13.
I hit 6 foot in 5th grade. That'd be 11. I'm a girl. I was 5'2" in 3rd grade. I did top out at 6. Shall we speak of growing pains?

I was 6 ft in the 6th grade. That was many, many years ago. I am still 6 ft. This fact would disappoint 6th grade me because he assumed I would keep growing and growing and be like Giant Man at this age. Alas, this was not to be.
I have a 34th vertebrae in my spine normally there is only 33.
Nah, it's fine, though 34 at birth is uncommon but not rare. People are born with 33 but 9 of them fuse at the bottom as we grow older - down in the coccyx and sacrum. In adulthood it's not uncommon to have one or two not fuse properly, and why it's not too difficult to break a piece of the tailbone off in a broken butt accident.

so do i my ex and all four of my children and grandchildren so not sure how rare it is
I'm Asian and I'm absolute garbage at math.
I was born even though my mom had her tubes clamped and was in her 40s.
So the mom of my baby daddy (my daughters grandma) had her tubes tied after her first. And proceeded to have 3 more babies.
Same here! My mum was sterilised 10 years before I was born. Then I was due on Christmas day, born on Christmas eve. She was 38. I was born deprived of oxygen so was apparently navy blue. I'm a relatively normal colour now.
I have visual snow (you see tiny flickering dots everywhere).
My mom calls those floaters. I think it's common as you get older.
No, floaters are like a clear hair on the top of your eye. They don't flicker.

I was born with zero wisdom teeth. After seeing what my youngest went through when he had his removed, I'm very thankful that I have never had to and never will have to deal with wisdom teeth.
I have only 3 too but, my son has 6. He made the dentist very happy to have seen it
I'm ambidextrous but some things do prefer one hand to the other. As an example: I am a right handed swordsman and a left handed archer. I'd be useless in battle.
It does not matter if you are right or left handed in archery, it depends on the dominant eye.
That's firearms, though firearms are more forgiving on that front. In archery, it's hand dominance. Source: I'm both a USAA instructor and a firearms safety & marksmanship instructor.

My sister is color blind. My two brothers and I (I’m also a boy) are not.
My sister can't distinguish between blue and purple, but none of my other siblings or I have any colour blindness.
I’ve got Morning Glory Syndrome/Anomaly, a birth defect, in one of my eyes. Basically, optic nerve isn’t fully formed, so not only can’t I see out of it, my eye can’t absorb the flash when taking a picture and instead reflects the light. In pictures, my eye looks like a Morning Glory flower, hence the name.
Green eyes only 7% pop. Lefties 10%. Combined features, idk.
I'm not sure that would work without understanding the stats, what if a higher percentage of lefties have been eyes? 😁

I have multiple crowns, a cow's lick and hair which angle forward on one side of my head and backwards on the other. More noticeable because my hair is dead straight.
I’m left handed but play every sport right handed.
Edit: I thought I was rare but it seems there are quite a few of us confused people out there. I’m happy to hear it.
Left handed but can play anything right. Prefer right in golf. Comes from not having equipment and borrowing righty's stuff.
I am a dominate lefty. But I was taught how to play sports by a normal person. I just copied his stance and method. I bat, throw, bowl with my right hand.
On one of his marksmanship tests when he was in the Army, my Dad completed it shooting left-handed because his eyesight was better in his left eye. When he was signing the paperwork at the end, the officer running it noticed he was writing right-handed, and made him go back and do the whole thing over, because a right-handed person shooting left-handed "didn't count".
For me I was the same way write right handed shoot left. I know why for me is back in the day left handed was not accepted, so when I entered school I was forced to learn to use my right hand, but still left dominant.
Load More Replies...I have a mix. I kick a Aussie Rules football better googly (left) but not a soccer ball. I also catch and throw with my right hand, meaning I can't really play baseball (which is fine because I don't like it). I am right handed for writing but use a knife in my left hand and fork in my right, unless I'm spreading something, then I switch the knife to my right!
It’s because we have had to adapt in a world designed for right handed people.
I had an extra bone in my foot called an accessory navicular. I had to get it removed because of the pain is was causing me while walking. Apparently like 5% of the world has it or gets it taken out.
I can move my ears, eyebrows and I sweat doing nothing.
nope. Especially if you can move them independently (i can)
Load More Replies...I have a tongue-tie. About 5% of newborns have one and often they naturally go away over time, or have to be snipped to help with breastfeeding or speech, which makes them pretty uncommon in adults. But I still have mine, and so does my sister. My dentist (who's fairly young, in fairness) said he'd never seen one before he saw mine.
My child had the tongue tie clip at 6 days due to a congenital craniofacial condition.
I don't know what that is but I had my tongue snipped as a baby because it was stuck to my gums and I couldn't feed
It's actually about 25% of kids have tongue ties. I have one and both lips have a tie. I thought it was just a normal thing everyone has.
I can rumble my ears.
I have this and have been trying to figure out what the heck it is
Some people can make a sound that only they can hear, by tensing muscles inside their ears. ( I'm one of them, too. ) Here's a video that explains the phenomenon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1j7dQxJxgA

All I know for sure is that their extreme height comes from somewhere in my bloodline, as there is no record of anyone being over 6'4" on their fathers side. Unfortunately, I was adopted as an infant, in a closed adoption, in Los Angeles, in the mid-70's, so getting any information about my birth parents (or any blood relatives for that matter) has been extremely difficult.
I’m allergic to water! yay fun times.
I had issues with water t/as a child. My skin reacted to water so badly that I had to be cleaned using some sort of wipes. It was really bad eczema for me. I have never taken baths, only showers.

At one time, I was the youngest person in the world and also the last person ever born.
I really hate how I have to subscribe to BP just to keep reading. Pleased to have found another 13 year old however, one who would Tower over me at 5'5"
That doesn't sound healthy all goodness! Average is 80-100

I caught smallpox from the vaccine when I was a child (born in 1969) making me one of the last reported cases of smallpox in New Jersey.
You are not the only redhead in your generation.

That's not the big deal; one day during treatment, I went to the hospital, turned in my infusion pump, and promptly went out backpacking with my Scouts on the highest mountain in Massachusetts. The following Tuesday, my Onc pointedly asked me - "Tell me again how you didn't die?" I since became a legend in the Oncology Ward.
My heart rate is extremely scary. My cardiologist had me take a picture of my EKG and told me if I have a cardiac emergency please call him before anyone does anything drastic.
