We are all faced with illnesses and ailments

Although the medical industry is constantly evolving

For example, there is still no cure for the common cold

and do not even know how anaesthesia works.

But there are some interesting conditions

like the fact people who undergo organ transplants

Here are five disorders, illnesses and conditions

that are still, and will most likely remain, unsolved.

We have all heard of hypothermia, the nightmarish condition that occurs when the average person's body temperature drops below 35 degrees.

It all starts with uncontrollable shivering,

followed by  difficulty walking, poor coordination, and the appearance of being drunk.

As breathing and heart rate slows to a dangerous rate,

the body stops shaking and eventually the person will fall unconscious

But right before death it has been known that the sufferer, in a semi comatose state,

This is not a conscious decision to keep warm,

because by this stage the person is incoherent,

confused, and completely unable to make any kind of rational decison.

These actions are purely an effort of the body trying one final effort to keep going.

If this thought is quite unnerving, then wait until you hear about the bizarre phenomenon

Paradoxical undressing is when just before losing consciousness

a sufferer of hypothermia will get the feeling of extreme warmth.

Prompting them to remove all of their clothes,

sometimes folding them into a neat pile before passing away.

But why would someone dying of cold want to remove the only thing keeping them warm?

Well the reason for this is not completely understood

although it is thought the dilation of blood vessels in the skin

as a result of the cold and of the deterioration of the brain

can cause this sensation of extreme heat.

Studies show around 30 percent of all people who have passed away from hypothermia

have had some or all of their clothes removed.

Now I don't know about you but the thought of someone undressing

from a feeling of warmth whilst their body temperature is continuing to drop

as they freeze to death is very unnerving.

And the fact that we do not know for sure why

this happens makes the bizarre phenomenon of paradoxical undressing

There is some scepticism about whether it caused ilnesses, but

rain began to fall over Oakville, Washington.

What was falling was a strange, jelly like substance.

Over the next 3 weeks the area experienced this strange jelly rain a total of 6 times.

Local resident Dottie Hearn described the substance as mushy rice sized blobs

had to stop his car after the substance smeared over his windscreen making

After it had stopped failing, both Dottie and David along with other resident began to fal ill.

They suffered from various symptoms, ranging from difficulty breathing

Several cats and dogs who had come into contact with the goo

Dotty's symptoms were so severe that she was admitted to hospital,

and her daughter was convinced that there was a connection

to her mother's sudden illness and the blobs.

After examination, it was found that the blobs contained human white blood cells,

and were teeming with two types of bacteria, one of which

This lead to the speculation that it was human waste released from an aeroplane,

although this was quickly dismissed as waste from planes has to be died blue

and is forbidden from being dumped mid flight.

However, Dotty was not happy with these findings

and over a year after the incident sent some samples she had stored in her freezer

which are complex nucleus containing cells present in most living creatures,

meaning whatever it was had to be alive at some point in time.

This lead to the theory that a military bomb 50 miles away

This theory did not hold up well since the rain came down six times.

and the distance it would have had to travel seems pretty impossible.

The airforce did however confirm that they were doing practice bombing runs

But denied they had anything to do with the blobs.

Conspiracy theorists and locals are sceptical about this,

and believe that the military were carrying out an experiment

possibly a new biological weapon, to see what affects it would have.

But it is strange that samples of the substance no longer exist,
