Weird health conditions that aren't gross?!
Question: Basically, what I'm looking for is for you to list a couple of weird (but not gross) health conditions, and maybe just a quick sentence about what it is. For example:
Synesthesia: When people see colors flying around that correspond to different sounds, words, and number.
Got it? I'm looking for a couple of those, and maybe some resources so I can look into them further.

Progeria: This is actually quite sad.. It's a random genetic mutation where children age incredibly quickly, progressing through various life stage issues (they don't grow to an adult height because there simply is not enough time) and dying of.. well, old age, at 17.
