Bizarre World Records 1




Tallest of the tall, strangest of the strange. When it comes to knowing the “most” in things, The Guinness World Records has done its job very well, in noting the best and the worst. One of the most notable things that they have taken is about the people that have unique characteristics, physical traits, or even undeniable feats. All of them are special in their own way; however, looking at the most bizarre would make you think how diverse the world is.  With that said, take a look at the most bizarre world records that can make anyone gasp with wonder.




10. Heaviest Living Woman

You have watched the Biggest Loser or at least you have known that the show has gathered the heaviest people and helping them lose their fat, the natural way. However, there is one contestant that may not join this contest as the medical situation of this person may be too challenging. Pauline Potter is confirmed as the world’s heaviest living woman with the weight of 643 lbs. being 47 years old.


9. Fastest Time to Burst Balloons Using the Back

No, we are not talking about using your back to pop the balloon by laying it flat on the ground and lying down on it with your back popping it. For Julia Gunthel, also known as Zlata from Hochstadt, Germany, popping the balloon is done by standing still, keeping the balloon on the butt, and popping it by flexing your back to your butt, and doing it as fast as possible. She was able to pop 3 balloons in 12 seconds.


8. Female Longest Tongue

Have you ever been dared to use your tongue to reach the tip of your nose? When you find it so hard, there is someone who will not just tap the nose, but may even wet the eyes when she feels like it. Chanel Tapper from California has a tongue that measures 9.75cm with lengths that can be compared to an iPhone.


7. Widest Mouth

Imagine eating your burger with one bite, when you do not have the time. This can be easily done by Francisco Domingo Joaquim as he is recorded to have the widest mouth in the world. It was recorded in Rome, Italy on March 18, 2010.


6. Female Longest Fingernails

Growing fingernails for ladies is natural as it is attractive, especially with nail polish added. However, having it grown to over 8.65m in total length may be too extreme. This is the record that Lee Redmond of Salt Lake City, Utah when she started to take care of her nails starting 1979.


5. Male Longest Fingernails

Yep, if you think that growing nails is just a girl thing, a Guinness World Record has also noted of a man growing his fingernails at great lengths. Melvin Boothe of Pontiac has nails that are longer than Redmond’s is, with 9.85m at total length.


4. Hairiest Teenager

Having hair grown all over the body is a very big issue for the ladies as they like it when their skin is all smooth and silky. However, with Supatra Sasuphan of Phanakorn, Bangkok, Thailand, she may have too much problems with her hands. However, she has been strong to accept her uniqueness, making her the hairiest teen lady noted by Guinness.


3. Farthest Milk Squirting Distance

If you think this feat is easy to beat, try to drink some milk and have it squirted coming from your eyeballs. Easy? This is the kind of performance that gasped so many people, with Ilker Yilmaz of Turkey doing the amazing act. He was able to squirt it with a distance of 9 feet and 2 inches.


2. Most Needles Inserted on the Head

This has been achieved by Wei Shengchu of China. For people that have been too accustomed with acupuncture, you would reckon that this is ordinary. However, acupuncture is sticking needles to manipulate the pressure points in the body, and may hurt bad if everything is stuck too close to each other.


1. Smallest Waist

The usual vital statistics of the sexiest women are 36 on the bust size, 24 on the waist, and 36 on the hips. However, having a waistline of 21 inches when not wearing a corset, and goes as tight as 15 inches with a corset, is definitely bizarre. Cathie Jung of Old Mystic in the US has achieved this strange record.

Best 10 Tips How to Cure Dengue Fever


If you are not one of the victims of dengue, at least be prepared on how you would handle a patient in your family who is showing the symptoms of this dreaded mosquito disease. To those who have surpassed this stage and recovered because of their own judgment to bring their love ones to the hospital, such efforts and initiative is admired. Hence, to those who are not aware of how serious dengue is and do not know how to give the right treatment, it is best to read this whole article so you won’t panic, and focus if this strikes in your territory at the time that you are defenseless and not really secured.


10. Enough Bed Rest

This is the basic step that you have to make whether you are the one who has been suspected of dengue or other members of your family. You have to make sure that an individual is resting or sleeping in a very comfortable place without any interruption but have proper ventilation. Make sure that it is away from all noise and other disturbances. It should be a quiet place and avoid turning the television on and other music components at home.


9. Give Basic Medication for Fever and Pain

You should only give tablets or any syrup based on the patient’s conditions and age. Hence, as per health guidelines given in all hospitals, Paracetamol is recommended within 24 hours, which is not more than 4 times to be taken if the fever reached above 39°C. Hence, there are recommended table drafts of dosage according to specific age groups. Nonetheless, it is discouraged to give Aspirin or Brufen to children because it may cause bleeding or gastritis that will trigger other complications for dengue. Moreover, antibiotics are highly excluded for basic medication since it would not help the condition of patients but it would even cause sudden bleeding.


8. More Fluids

Dehydration is one of the obvious results or effects for any individual who has confirmed dengue fever. This is the reason why you have to give or serve more fluids or any liquids that he or she can take while resting. Even when the person does not want it, you have to monitor it to be assured that he or she will not be dehydrated. Otherwise, you have to rush the person to a nearby hospital to receive proper dehydration treatment, which is in dextrose form.

7. Tepid Sponging

Aside from Paracetamol that will decrease the level of fever temperature of patients, you have to continuously and alternately give warm tepid sponging to absorb the level of heat in the body. This would help to lower it down hot body temperature a bit and to avoid dehydration.


6. Monitor Blood Pressure

If you have a sphygmomanometer at home and you know how to use it, it is best to randomly check the person’s blood pressure so you would know if it is normal or has irregular results of blood pressure. This is a critical indication if you would need to continue the basic treatments that you are doing at home and could bring these records too, once you have found out that the situation of your loved one is not changing and worsening. It would help medical attendees to assess the condition of the member of your family.


5. Serve Foods Rich in Vitamin to Strengthen Immune System

You still need to serve best foods from fruits and vegetables to them. Of course, you have to check their appetite if they want it or not. Hence, you should maintain nutritious foods, especially vitamin rich food selections that would boost and strengthen the immune system of the person to get through with the pain and uncomfortable feeling which is being build up in the body.

4. Rush to the Hospital in Extreme Cases

If the basic treatments that you have been serving to your loved one are not enough, it is a basic prerogative to bring them to the hospital. This is wise for them to receive necessary examinations where doctors can give you direct advice or appropriate medications should in case the dengue case is beyond the normal days, especially if symptoms of dengue are at its worst state. Physicians and other medical specialist are the best people who are trained how to give the right remedy to your loved one.

3. Oxygen if Needed

This is another option but it rarely happens just in case the patient is very ill or still in shock state. This is a case-to-case basis and it is up to the bodily response of the person. Oxygen is needed to stabilize the blood and promote its healthy state. It is also encouraged to use this treatment if the patient is in shock where blood pressure and pulse cannot be traced or measured. It raises the hematocrit, where improvement with the condition of the individual is observed.

2. Blood Transfusion if Advised

Blood transfusion can be done to replace whole blood and dying red cells as the disease is incurring blood loss while everything happens. It replenishes everything aside from the platelets that have been declining in numbers due to the affecting virus. It can be used in two ways. One, if the warning signs are overwhelming where decreasing hematocrit is observed, and two, when the situation go worse wherein a consistent supply of fresh blood should be administered to lessen fatal risks involved.

1. Platelet Transfusion if Platelet Count Went down

One of the worst impacts and complications in experiencing dengue fever is the gradual decrease of platelets in the blood. How difficult can the situation be? When platelets are low, there are lesser blood components that assure the non-occurrence of blood clotting. Internal bleeding can happen, thus loss of blood is seen. If this situation is not treated, then thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) may threaten the life of the person where blood clots will form all over the body. So before everything grows too late, have that platelet transfusion done so that recovery and smooth blood circulation can be promoted.
