Steel Bristle Grow From a Stomach
For the past 17 years, a woman in Sengata, East Kutai, has claimed to periodically grow steely bristle of up to 20 centimeters in length from her chest and belly.
“Thousands of bristles have and grown and fallen from my body since 1991,” said the 40-year-old Noorsyaidah.
“It is very painful when the bristle are about to come out from the pores,” she said in Samarinda, where she had come from her village for a medical check-up at A Wahab Syahranie Hospital.
She said she had given many of the bristles to researchers, doctors, or visitors for research, diagnostic purposes or as curios.
The hospital, which conducted an X-ray photo earlier this month, diagnosed the symptoms as “unusual in the medical world”.
“We call the bristles alien things…. This is really a very unusual case,” hospital director Sirafuddin said.
Sirafuddin said the hospital suggested surgery to remove the bristles, but Noor declined, despite having pursued a number of alternative treatments to no avail.
Noor said that last week three more bristle came out, two on her chest and the other on her belly. The hospital reports there are currently a total of 35 bristle protruding from Noor’s body.
Noor, who is a graduate of Mulawarman University’s school of social and political sciences, has been nicknamed the “wire woman”.
She said she decided not to get married because she did not want to disappoint a man because of the condition.
She said that to prevent the bristle from hurting her skin, she wore the upper part of a two-piece mukena, the loose clothing worn by Muslim women, and trousers only up to her lower abdomen.
Noor teaches autistic children at a foundation in Sengata that provides education to children with developmental disabilities. In the afternoons, she gives private courses to some of her students.
“I’m emotionally very close to my students. I feel I’m useful among them,” she said.
“I’ll keep struggling for my recovery. I want the best for me,” said Noor, adding that she was hoping to go overseas to seek treatment with the help of a benefactor.
