      here are some rare diseases!

      Paraneoplastic pemphigus – this is when your body attacks itself and causes blisters everywhere… eventually these become infected and it’s quite fatal!

      Kuru – this is a disease found only in New Guinea and is caused by cannabilism! it’s died out now because the practice of ritual cannibalism has stopped…

      Field’s disease – this a muscular disease that is known to have affected only two people – sisters from Wales!
