2 Health Xeroderma Pigmentosum, “Vampire Syndrome” Humans need sunlight to get vitamin D, but too much exposure to the sun’s UV rays can hurt you. About 1 in 1 million people have xeroderma pigmentosum and are extremely sensitive to UV rays. These people must be completely away from sunlight, or will experience extreme sunburns and breakdown of the skin. If someone with the condition isn’t careful, they could easily develop skin cancer. Xeroderma pigmentosum is caused by a rare recessive mutation of the repair enzymes. Functioning normally, these enzymes fix broken DNA that can be caused by UV rays. While there are some treatments available, the best prevention from damage is merely staying completely out of sunlight, just like a vampire.If you go in the sun you’ll get burned and it will be extremely painful. It doesn't just affect the skin though, it causes dry and scaly skin, as well as spider veins, it can discolor the eyes and make your eyes hurt. Another thing that can come out of having this disorder is dwarfism or even mental retardation, and people barely live past 40. Luckily it is a recessive autosomal disorder, and occurs in one in every one million people. http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/10-strangest-known-medical-conditions/ Weird Words
