Blood sweat and tears .... Yaritza started shedding bloody tears earlier this month
DOCTORS in Chile are baffled by a woman who has started crying tears of BLOOD.
Yaritza Oliva was terrified when the strange condition appeared earlier this
month.
Ever since, with no warning, the 20-year-old bleeds from her eyes several
times a day.
Yaritza visited her doctor but when no evidence of an infection could be found
she was sent home with eye drops to help her cope with the pain, which she
says is "indescribable".
Rare ... it's possible she has a condition called haemolacria
Her parents are now asking friends and neighbours in Purranque, Chile, to help
them raise the money to send their daughter to an eye expert.
Her carpenter dad Jose appealed on a local news show: "Please put your
hands over your hearts, see our situation and help my daughter."
It's possible Yaritza has a very rare condition called haemolacria, which
causes sufferers to produce tears containing blood.
There are only THREE documented cases of the condition, which can be
symptomatic of a more serious illness or a tumour - or caused by a high
level of hormones in fertile women.
