Terror: Girl Sneezes Over Ten Thousand Times a Day at the Speed of a Machine Gun

According to the Daily Mail on November 11, American girl Lauren Johnson appears to be a normal child, but in fact, she suffers from a strange illness that causes her to sneeze 20 times per minute, amounting to 12,000 sneezes per day.

Lauren, who hails from Virginia, USA, began experiencing this uncontrollable sneezing two weeks ago after catching a cold. Lauren cannot attend school, and even eating has become painful for her; the only time she feels any relief is when she falls asleep at night. Lauren's condition has left doctors at a loss for what to do. During a five-minute interview with an American talk show, Lauren sneezed hundreds of times, interrupting her speech every few seconds. Lauren has now earned the nickname "Bless You Girl." She says she can't stop sneezing. Initially, she had anticipated that this situation might last a long time, but she didn’t expect it to continue for two whole weeks without any sign of stopping. Lauren stated that while she doesn't feel any pain, she does feel uncomfortable.
