Meet Olivia Farnsworth, a British teenager who feels no pain or hunger because of THIS rare condition

Shocking! 14-year-old Olivia Farnsworth feels no pain, hunger or danger because of a rare condition called hormone 6 deletion. According to doctors, she is the only person known to be unable to perceive all three stimuli.

A young girl called Olivia Farnsworth, in the United Kingdom, has been nicknamed “Bionic”. It happened after she was hit and dragged by a car, but calmly got up and walked away unharmed. The accident happened in 2016 when she was only 7 years old. Even the doctors were shocked when they heard about the incident. The reason the 14-year-old survived the accident is due to a rare condition called hormone 6 deletion, which prevents her from sensing danger and experiencing feelings of pain, hunger or thirst. She is reported to be the only person known to be unable to perceive all three stimuli.

According to the US-based National Organization For Rare Disorders, chromosome 6 deletion is an abnormality that occurs when genetic material is absent from the short arm (p) of chromosome 6. “Traits common in people with chromosome 6p deletion include including developmental delay, intellectual disability, behavioral problems and striking facial features.”

HOW SHE BECAME A BIONIC TEENAGER?

Olivia Farnsworth’s mother, Niki Trepak, spoke with Daily email about the accident and what the whole family saw: “She was run over and dragged across the street by a car and she didn’t complain. She was dragged down the road for about ten car lengths. It was horrible. I don’t think it’s something I’ll ever get over. I screamed and all my other kids screamed as they ran outside.”

She revealed how they all got confused when Oliva got back up without feeling any slight pain: ‘Olivia was like, ‘What’s going on?’… She had a tire mark on her chest. But her only injuries were that she had no skin on her toe or hip. The doctors think what saved her from injury was that she wasn’t tense.” Trepak revealed from that moment on they realized that their daughter was far from a normal person.

According to Trepak, her daughter started showing symptoms when she was just a few months old: “When she was nine months old, she started rejecting my milk… She’s almost conditioned to eat, she eats at school because everyone does, but she doesn’t. don’t need it. She is never hungry. At home she goes through phases where she eats the same thing for months and then she stops.”

She also fell heavily once, tore her lip off and said nothing. She had to have major plastic surgery to correct it,” Trepak said. She also said that because of this disease, Olivia’s hair didn’t grow properly until she was four years old.

IS THERE A TREATMENT FOR THE PRESENCE?

Olivia’s family currently receives support from Unique, a support organization for chromosome disorders. According to research biologist Dr. Searle, there is no treatment for the chromosome abnormality. Trepak said Daily email “But what we can do is alleviate the symptoms. We try to find matches and provide information to families, which can be good for friendship and local support.” Olivia is currently undergoing counseling sessions and is receiving the best possible support and guidance.
