According to her son, Liang Xiuzhen’s problems began nearly a decade ago when a small mole on her head became incredibly itchy. Over the years, it increased in redness and the itchiness persisted until using traditional Chinese medicine brought a cure. Or so they thought. For the next six years the situation appeared normal, until the mole suddenly started to grow.While the itchiness did not return, the mole hardened and before long, a small growth developed, about two inches long, that resembled a horn. Villagers in Guiyan, near Ziyang City in the southwestern part of China, began to shun Liang. Unsure of what underlying problem was causing the issue, the family continued to use traditional Chinese medicine to stem the problem before it got worse. Unfortunately, after the two inch horn was accidentally broken off while Xiuzhen was sleeping, the growth kicked into overdrive.Beginning in February, the growth of a new horn began with great speed. Now, barely six months later, the current horn is six inches long, with a circumference of eight inches. Realizing that their traditional Chinese medical efforts were not enough, the family consulted doctors at a hospital in the Sichuan province. Officially diagnosed as cornu cutaneum, the horn is actually a skin tumor composed of keratin, the same protein that makes fingernails hard. Elderly people are more likely to develop these tumors if they have a history of excessive sun exposure.LINK 4951

Ok, let's start a pool for which KDC members are most likely to grow one of these (or already have one?)...Yeah, that traditional Chinese medicine really works.  Have you ever noticed how sharkfin soup is the cure for everything in traditional Chinese medicine? 4951

Stuff kids say:
This morning, my DD (who's 5) said, "Mommy, we could not have a unicorn in the house because it doesn't know how to use a toilet & would get pee all over our house, so I would have to get it out."
Me: "And how will you get the unicorn out of the house?"
DD: "I would just grab a lizard & tie it to the horn,, then I would pull the lizard to drag the unicorn outside." 4951
