The pain is “indescribable.” This is what a young Chilean woman has to go through everytime she cries, because when she does, she cries tears of blood.
20 year old Yaritza Oliva, developed the terrifying condition in early June and bleeds from her eyes several times a day.
Little is known about what she’s going through but experts suspect that it could be a case of haemolacria, a condition that causes a person to produce tears partially composed of blood.
Unfortunately haemolacria can also indicate a more serious illness, including the possibility of a tumour.
Her parents, who can’t afford to pay for the treatment to help Oliva are appealing for financial assistance to help their young daughter.
