There are some strange medical conditions out there, but as for the strangest, well it’s hard to choose. Thankfully, Dave and John from Alltime10s have done this for us in their personal compilation of the 10 Most Strange Medical Conditions. These guys cover everything from a disease that makes people spend all their time in a graveyard to an infection that converts everything a person consumes into alcohol, causing him to become intoxicated on a daily basis. Watch the video below to find out all these truly bizarre yet completely real medical conditions.
1.Auto Brewery Syndrome
A rare intestinal yeast infection that converts everything the individual consumes into alcohol. This causes the person to be perpetually intoxicated.

3. Analgesia
Those with this condition lack the ability to feel pain.
4. Gastroschisis
Babies with this condition have a hole in their stomach during prenatal development, which causes them to be born with their intestines outside of their body.
5. Muscle Hypertrophy
This affects the hormone that inhibits muscle growth, causing the sufferer to have an abnormal muscle development.
6. The Cotard Syndrome
Those with this rare mental condition truly believe they are dead and will often be found hanging around graveyards in an attempt to “be with their own kind.”
7. Ross Syndrome
This syndrome causes the sufferer to be unable to sweat, which can cause overheating unless proper care is taken.
8. Urbach-Wiethe Disease
Those with this strange disease are often unable to experience the emotion of fear.
9. Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder
As its name suggests, this is a neurological condition that causes the sex organs to constantly be in a state of arousal.
