From people who can dance themselves to death to allergies to water-here are 25 incredibly strange, but real diseases that science cannot explain!
Acute flabby myelitis
After the invention of the vaccine, scientists claimed that the disease was defeated.

Lethargic encephalitis
"Exploding head" syndrome

Severe visual hallucinations, or Charles Bonnet syndrome
Although there are few recorded cases of this disease, it is believed that it is widespread among elderly people suffering from blindness.
