5.Immunity To Freezing Cold Temperatures

A man by the name of Wim Hof (pictured) is immune to freezing weather conditions, including those that are pretty dangerous to us regular human beings.To prove his immunity, Wim decided to climb the infamous Mount Everest in its entirety. He only wore a pair of shorts during the quest. He shocked doctors after he finished and even claimed that the whole journey was “quite easy.”You must be very curious and wonder what exact medical condition grants such an amazing ability. Scientists wonder that as well. Basically, the answer is unknown. Scientists are completely baffled by Wim's capabilities and have no idea of how he's able to survive in such extreme conditions. They think it may have something to do with how Wim's brain works.

4.The Ability to 'Skin Write'

Everyone hates those immediate moments where you need quick access to a pen and some paper just to write down a little note that you know you're going to forget soon. Well, people with dermatographia may not have this issue. Instead of using the typical pen and paper, dermatographia sufferers can simply use their skin and nails.

3.Remembering Almost Every Single Thing

Speaking of writing notes, what if your memory was so extraordinary that you never had to write another note for the rest of your life? What if you could remember various details about a day that happened eight years go?

2.The Ability To Stay Awake Nearly 24 Hours A Day

How much more would you accomplish if you slept for only three hours a day? With less time for rest and more time to work, probably a lot. But what if you were only a toddler and rarely went to sleep? When he was just three years old, Rhett Lamb slept very little each day. It wasn't that Rhett didn't need to sleep, he just hardly ever went to sleep. Basically, he lost the ability to fully rest but gained an ability to stay awake for nearly 24 hours. Rhett's mother claimed that his attitude would get the best of him, and that he wasn't as playful as the average three-year-old.Rhett had a rare condition called chiari malformation. Basically, his skull wasn't formed well enough to contain all of his brain. As a result, some of his brain was pushed out from the bottom of his skull and into his spinal canal.Common symptoms of the condition are usually neck pain, dizziness, problems with balance, and speech problems. Oddly enough, gaining the ability to stay awake is not common for people with this condition. Fortunately, Rhett had surgery to fix his malformation and has been cured of his condition.

1.Immunity To Pain

If you could never feel pain for the rest of your life, what would you do? Would you try to start a career in boxing? Or would you do something more drastic, like extreme stunts and being flung around like a rag doll? Well, life without pain wouldn't exactly be so easy. You'd be unable to know if something's wrong internally or externally unless you were bleeding or otherwise obviously injured. Believe it or not, there are some people out there who are born without the ability to feel any sort of pain and live this way throughout their entire lives.Isaac Brown is a boy who was born that way. He doesn't know what pain feels like. You can imagine how many broken bones, cuts, and bruises a boy might go through in childhood, but Isaac hasn't felt a single one of them.This is because he was born with a very rare condition called congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis, which is abbreviated as CIPA. It is caused by mutations in the NTRK1 gene. The gene's receptor is what transmits pain, temperature, and touch sensations throughout the body. Since people with CIPA have mutations in the gene, they feel no pain and have constant trouble controlling their body's temperature because they are unable to sweat. People with CIPA manage their condition by staying cool and taking antibiotics to avoid infections.
