Boy Who Cries Blood


Medical Mystery: Boy Who Cries Blood

A Boy Bleeds From His Eyes and Doctors Don't Know Why

By JEREMY HUBBARD and MICHAEL CALLAHAN
Sept. 1, 2009


It's a medical condition shared by a creepy villain in the James Bond movie "Casino Royale," but for 15-year-old Calvino Inman, crying blood is a real-life, everyday hardship.

The Tennessee boy cries blood uncontrollably, sometimes three times a day, and doctors cannot tell him why.

"Sometimes, I can feel it coming up, like a tear. I feel my eyes watering," Inman told ABC News affiliate WATE. "Sometimes, it will burn as it comes out."

Some children don't even have eyes to bleed out of... Why are topics like these on the front page of newspapers but the Croatian genocide isn't even covered in our history books..

i saw on national geographic the girl who cries blood. it looks gruesome if you don't know it's just her crying blood. imagine how many people think she's a 'freak' same with the boy. anways, i sympathize with these people with this.. i guess disease? i hope soeone can come up with an explanation for it.

That is the scariest/creepiest thing I ever heard of!!!! Though I feel bad saying that because the boy must suffer terribly from torment and ridicule from classmates and other ignorant people. Even though he cries blood, people must remember he is not a freak...and is still a human being. I wonder if it can be cured...?

I don't really have anything to say about this boy other than i feel sorry for his condition but there was a case somewhat like this in inda. I don't know if any of you saw the nation geographic special on the girl in indea but the show was called " the girl who crys blood" There is no known medical condition for what she has but it is only similar to this boys case. The blood wasn't actually coming from the girls eyes. She would bleed from underneath her eyes as in her skin. She'd also bleed from her head , hands, and feet. But it was really wierd cause once she washed the blood away there was no sign of any wounds or anything like that. She would randomly start bleeding and it would never hurt so she wouldn't really even notice until she saw it. It's almost like she was blleding out of her pores. CRAZYNESS
