Well, the most famous mutation

BARBED GIRL - NARINE

More than two years eighteen Narine N. did nothing that went to various medical institutions, where, because her hands were removed rapidly growing thorns. Removed one - in their place immediately grow more. In total it has gathered in a small box 140 remote spikes.
About two years ago before Narine inadvertently pricked on the cactus, and the wound got controversial plant. The immune system has been weakened by the girl, disputes settled down in her body, and the body began to grow thick thorns. When surgeons removed all fistula center, then cut a piece and were found spores of which grow thorns-tormentors. Now Cactus nightmare Narine end. And Rodney stopped shy to avoid being pricked ...
Narine clenched fist, using the muscles on the surface of the new spike was removed (blood when it was not), and we remove it with tweezers. Before our eyes, every three days, the patient came out of the hands of 70 to 100 thorns. Then we have repeatedly removed them, but they appeared again - probably in the body of the girl remained 2-3 cell parasite. We consult specialists from Russia, Armenia, France. Both argued that the problem here is not surgical, microbiological and character & quot ;.

Examining the structure of large thorns, biologists have concluded that at this time they do not plant: as a result of mutation, new, unknown cells - a hybrid of human and plants.

In other words - Narine Ayvazyan gradually turned into a cactus. Now she is alive, but very bad - the whole day lying on the couch at home and no one wants to see.
Tigran Davtyan said that this metamorphosis is a lot to warn mankind: "With the evolution and progress more suffering, our immune system, it crashes occur. And we are increasingly exposed to unknown parasites and viruses ".
