The worst freaks. The scariest people in the world

There are a huge number of various diseases in the world. But sometimes it is a common runny nose, which disappears in a couple of days, sometimes an illness that requires surgery. In our review of 10 diseases that not only slowly kill, but also terribly disfigure a person.

1 necrosis of the jaw

Fortunately, this disease has disappeared a long time ago. In the 1800s, workers in match factories were exposed to massive amounts of white phosphorus, a toxic substance that ultimately caused severe jaw pain. In the end, the entire jaw cavity filled with pus and simply rotted away. At the same time, the jaw spread miasma of decay and even glowed in the dark from an excess of phosphorus. If it was not removed surgically, then the phosphorus spread further to all organs of the body, leading to death.

2. Proteus syndrome

Proteus syndrome is one of the rarest diseases in the world. There are only about 200 cases registered in the world. O It is a congenital ailment that causes overgrowth in various parts of the body. Asymmetrical overgrowth of bones and skin often affects the skull and limbs, especially the legs. There is a theory that Joseph Merrick, the so-called "Elephant Man", suffers from Proteus syndrome, although DNA tests have not proven this.

3. Acromegaly

Acromegaly occurs when the pituitary gland secretes excess growth hormone. As a rule, the pituitary gland before this is affected by a benign tumor. The development of the disease leads to the fact that the victims begin to grow to a completely disproportionate size. In addition to being oversized, victims of acromegaly also have a prominent forehead and very sparsely set teeth. Probably the most famous person with acromegaly was Andre the Giant, who grew to 220 centimeters and weighed over 225 kg. If this disease is not treated in time, the body will grow to such a size that the heart cannot cope with the stress, and the patient dies. Andre died of heart disease at the age of forty-six.

4. Leprosy

Leprosy is one of the worst diseases caused by bacteria that destroy the skin. It manifests itself slowly: first, ulcers appear on the skin, which gradually expand until the patient begins to rot. The disease usually affects the face, hands, feet, and genitals most severely. Although leprosy victims do not lose entire limbs, it is not uncommon for the victims to rot and fall off their fingers, toes and nose, leaving a nightmarish laceration in the middle of their face. Lepers have been expelled from society for centuries, and even today there are "leper colonies".

5. Smallpox

Another ancient disease is smallpox. It is even found on Egyptian mummies. It is believed that in 1979 she was defeated. Two weeks after contracting this disease, the body becomes covered with a painful bloody rash and pimples. After a few days, if the person manages to survive, the acne dries up, leaving horrible scars in its wake. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were ill with smallpox, as well as Joseph Stalin, who was especially embarrassed by the pock marks on his face and ordered to retouch his photographs.

6. Warty epidermodysplasia

Epidermodysplasia, a very rare skin disease, is characterized by a person's susceptibility to the papilloma virus, which causes a proliferation of warts throughout the body. The world first heard about the terrible disease in 2007, when this disease was discovered in Dede Kosvar. Since then, the patient has undergone several operations, during which several kilograms of warts and papillomas were cut off from him. Unfortunately, the disease is progressing very quickly, and Dede will need at least two surgeries a year to maintain a relatively normal appearance.

7. Porphyria

Porphyria disease is an inherited genetic disorder that results in the build-up of porphyrins (organic compounds that have different functions in the body, including producing red blood cells). Porphyria attacks primarily the liver and can lead to all kinds of mental health problems. Sufferers of this skin ailment should avoid exposure to sunlight, which leads to swelling and blistering of the skin. It is believed that the appearance of people with porphyria gave rise to the legends of vampires and werewolves.

8. Cutaneous leishmaniasis

9. Elephant disease

10. Necrotizing fasciitis

Minor cuts and abrasions are a part of every person's life, and they usually cause minimal inconvenience. But if carnivorous bacteria enter the wound, then even a small cut can become life-threatening in a matter of hours. The bacteria actually "eat" the flesh; they release toxins that destroy soft tissue. The infection can only be treated with a huge amount of antibiotics, but even so it is necessary to cut out all the affected flesh to stop the spread of fasciitis. Surgery is also often associated with amputation of limbs and other obvious injuries. But even with the availability of medical care, necrotizing fasciitis is fatal in 30-40% of all cases.

While scientists are looking for cures for terrible diseases, ordinary people can only hope for.

The modern world is frighteningly diverse. It has manifestations of the beautiful and the ugly, the divine and the devil. Truly strange subcultures are born, the adherents of which disfigure themselves beyond recognition in order to become ... recognizable. Others fall prey to image or genetic mutations. In today's collection of the most terrible people in the world.

Donatella Versace - a victim of plastic surgery

The fashion house spokeswoman might not have made it to this list, since she was born as a sweet Italian girl from Calabria. But now no one remembers her natural beauty due to dozens of plastic surgeries, some of which were very unsuccessful. The late Gianni Versace's sister is proof that over-resorting to plastic surgery can turn ugly. The Italian woman does not only have large lips and nose. unnaturally thin, and the remnants of the skin hang treacherously. A sad sight.

Marilyn Manson is a freak by nature

Shock rocker from the USA holds the lead in the category " The scariest man on the stage". Moreover, he wants to seem ugly. A rare third-party layman saw a rock star without a "battle color", as the outrageous showman appears in public in frightening costumes and with a ton of makeup on his face.

They say about Manson: “If you don’t know this guy and, God forbid, you see him on the street at night, you’ll think that a devil has broken through to Earth.”

Clint Howard is not Eastwood

The American actor completes the group of the most terrible people on the planet from show business. Clint Howard's success is proof that beauty doesn't matter in the Hollywood Hills if you've got talent. The comedian has dozens of memorable roles that have brought him fame and millions of dollars. Ugly Clint even won an MTV award. Not an Oscar, but not bad either.

Leopard Man Tom Leppard

The next participant in the "Circus of Freaks" Tom Leppard, who covered his entire body with speckled patterns imitating the skin of a leopard. A strange man gracefully moves on four "legs", imitating a predator. Tom, like other scariest people on the planet, became a celebrity. He can often be seen on television. The leopard man leads an active life, participating in various show programs and photo sessions.

Reptilian Man Eric Sprage

This member of the list of the most terrible people on the planet gravitates towards reptiles. Eric Sprage chose the image of a lizard for himself. His entire body is covered with tattoos that mimic scales, and false teeth-incisors complement the ugly image. In addition, Erik had implants inserted over his eyes to emphasize the reptilian resemblance. As the freak himself admits, he has to stretch the halves of the cut tongue every day so that they do not grow together.

Bull Man Etienne Dumont

Etienne Dumont is no different from the other weird people on this list. Etienne, having a higher education and working as a literary critic in Geneva, completely covered himself with tattoos. And it looks like he's happy. Journalists compare his image to a bull. Only now the ungulate has two powerful horns, Etienne has only one, and even then it is turned. It's funny to see a bull man reading Haruki Murakami's new novel in a coffee shop in downtown Geneva, isn't it?

The scariest people on earth are not only freaks, victims of plastic surgery and genes. The following participants were included in our rating by no means willingly.

Jason Shechterly - Fire Victim

An ex-police officer from the United States received fourth degree burns as a result of an accident. A taxi ran into a police car at full speed. A fire broke out, but Jason was unable to get out on his own. In the hospital, the doctors had to literally rip off the burnt skin from the policeman's face. Despite significant changes in appearance, the officer's wife did not leave him. The support of his beautiful wife and family helped Jason climb out of the psychological pit and start a new life.

Yu Junchang is the hairiest man in the world

Chinese Yu Junchang looks like the hero of "Planet of the Apes". With a rare genetic disease, the poor fellow resembles an animal. 96% of Junchan's body is covered with dense vegetation. After a terrible childhood, the Chinese man decided to start a new life and loudly declared himself. In a moment, he became famous for the light of his extraordinary appearance. Yu Junchang is now a local celebrity. He is invited to talk shows and interviews. The guy says he is enjoying his new life. The only thing is that he has not yet met a girl who will love him the way he is.

Man-tree Dede Cosvara

The Indonesian Dede Kosvar is just right to feel sorry for. At the age of 10, the boy was injured in the forest. Since then, his life has become like a nightmare. An unknown infection probably entered the wound, and ulcers began to appear around it. After that, they hit the entire leg and even the arms. For several years, Dede watched how he turned into a monster.

Having become a tree, the guy lost the ability to walk. A mysterious infection robbed him of marriage, work, the happiness of fatherhood and independence. To feed himself, he began to travel with the circus of freaks.

Indonesian doctors used a laser to remove the warts on Dede's body, but they soon reappeared. The young man lost faith in healing and sank into despondency.

As you can see, the world's scariest people have personal stories. Someone wants to be like a beast, the other wants to be no different from their peers. But each of them assures that external attractiveness is a shell, and it is more important to recognize the inner beauty of a person.

As old Hugo said, no outer beauty is complete if it is not animated by inner beauty. It spreads over bodily beauty like light.

Man is an amazing creature. Just give him something to change. Often, the object of change is the person's own appearance, who believes that he suffers from a lack of self-realization. The concept of beauty is very abstract, because everyone has different tastes, and most people form them exclusively under the pressure of beauty magazines and stereotypes that are common in society. Nevertheless, there are characters who, in their striving to be different from the rest, deliberately disfigure themselves. Sometimes a person loses his beauty by chance, including an unfortunate one.

One way or another, the site decided to talk about the most terrible people with whom the parable that appearance is only a wrapper works with difficulty.

1. Tom Leppard

In 2016, the most tattooed pensioner of the planet died at the age of 80. His name was Tom Leppard, and 99% of his body was covered with a cheetah tattoo. It is not known what prompted Tom to mutilate his body in this way, but he still received some fame. Over the years, he has appeared on the covers of magazines and was able to gain a moment of fame. Tom Leppard also liked to imitate his cheetah mastermind, so he was often photographed on all fours in predatory poses.

2. Etienne Dumont

We already had a cheetah-man, so meet the supposedly bull-man, or simply Etienne Dumont, a literary critic from Switzerland, who believes that his life is so boring that another implant tattoo on his face makes it brighter and more colorful.

Bizarre tattooing, implanted horns and tunnels in his ears make him one of the scariest people on the planet, and stereotypes have nothing to do with it.

3. Rick Genest

Against the background of his tattooed colleagues, Rick Genest was able to build a very successful career in show business and is one of the most popular models for famous brands. "Zombie Boy", as fans love him, has covered his entire body with intimidating tattoos that make him look like a corpse. In principle, it suits him.

4. Julia Gnuse

If everything is clear with men, because since ancient times they have been striving to stand out among other males, including with the help of tattoos, then no one expected this from a cute girl named Julia Gnuse. The most tattooed woman in the world took such a step not so much out of self-expression as in order to hide the traces of a genetic disease - porphyria. In this way, Julia killed two birds with one stone: she began to relate to her appearance more calmly, and found fame in the media.

5. Elaine Davidson

Unlike Yulia Gnuse, a Brazilian named Elaine Davidson does not suffer from skin diseases. However, it is even difficult to determine gender by her everyday appearance. Despite the fact that there are up to 2,500 tattoos on her body, they do not at all make this woman the scariest person. The fact is that Elaine is very fond of piercings, to some extent even too much. The total mass of jewelry on her face is about three kilograms. Apparently, the desire to shock the audience is much stronger than common sense.

6. Kala Kaivi

Kala Kaivi is famous all over the world as the man who has the largest tunnels in his ears. In fact, this detail is not the strangest in the body of this person, because he managed to cover his body with tattoos by 75%, implant a bunch of implants under the skin in the form of horns, get pierced in various places, and then cut his tongue in half to he looked more like a serpentine. Kalu is saved by the fact that he is the owner of a tattoo parlor in Hawaii, so he has no end of clients.

7. Poly the Unstoppable

Another handsome man named Paulie Anstappable (yes, he took a pseudonym), covered his face with tattoos, made holes in his nose, cheeks and ears, inserted tunnels there and enjoys life. Paulie supplemented his appearance with a frustrated language with which he likes to frighten passers-by. However, the guy's friends speak of him exclusively as a kind and sweet person. Let's believe them.

8. Eric Sprage

The snake-lizard man Eric Sprage also found a way to distinguish himself from the gray mass of people living by standards. The man covered his skin with a tattoo stylized as the scales of snakes and lizards, but this seemed to him not enough. He also cut his tongue, making it look like the one possessed by reptiles, and also sharpened his teeth. It is scary to imagine how this man, who is considered by many to be the most terrible in the world, is having dinner.

9. Lucky Diamond Rich

Meet the most tattooed person in the world, who is recognized as scary even by his colleagues in the workshop. He is so scary that he hesitates to appear in public under his real name, preferring the pseudonym Lucky Diamond Rich. Do you think getting a small tattoo on your arm hurts? Imagine what this guy had to endure to shock his friends and people on the street. He managed to get a tattoo even on the gums and inside the ears.

Appearance always plays an important role for a person, but beauty is more of a relative concept, although the fashion industry, cosmetics manufacturers claim that being beautiful is the most important thing in life. The concept of beauty is different, not all people on the planet can boast of an impeccable appearance, but they have a beautiful soul. It happens that a person was born with a pleasant appearance, however, in pursuit of beauty, he turned himself into one of the most terrible in the world, going too far with plastic surgery, injections, tattoos, and someone is ready to give a lot to look like ordinary people.

On February 9, 1939, in Tokyo, Ishii Shiro gave a lecture on bacteriological weapons in the large conference room of the Ministry of War. Vivisection was also performed in front of the audience. In 1942, tests of bacteriological weapons began, for which Chinese prisoners of war and civilians were used. In parallel, Detachment 731 carried out experiments on infecting people with the help of various microorganisms, provoking abortions, heart attacks, and frostbite. The inmates' limbs were amputated and sewn to other parts of the body. People were also used as live targets for testing new grenades and flamethrowers, they were specially infected with diseases, tested the effect of new vaccines and drugs.

Upon learning of this, his son Ivan wanted to reason with the tsar, but Ivan the Terrible did not want to listen to moralizing and hit the heir hard on the head, which became the cause of death. It is also worth noting the unprecedented cruelty of the Russian tsar during the massacre of the Novgorodians.

Adults and children were tortured, tied to a sled, dragged to the "Great Volkhov Bridge" and thrown into the river. Those who managed to swim out were pushed under the ice with sticks.

He was one of the leaders of the extreme left regime of the Khmer Rouge, which carried out the genocide of its people, exterminating several million people in 3.5 years. In their bestial experiments, the Khmer Rouge reached their logical conclusion, not allowing conventional morals to dominate their views. To fight the bourgeoisie, so to fight. Immediately after the Khmer seizure of power, the cities were declared hotbeds of debauchery and bourgeois values, and the entire urban population was evicted into the jungle in labor camps. All dissenting or even incomprehensible people were shot or killed with hoes (in order to save ammunition). All over the country, the entire intelligentsia was systematically destroyed: teachers, doctors, engineers. They killed only because the person wore glasses….
According to independent studies, from 1.5 to 2 million Cambodians died from genocide against their own people, which made up about a quarter of the country's population.
