Meet The Woman Whose Body Fused With Her Twin Sister In The Womb
The Model Who Is Her Own Twin Having Two Sets Of DNA One Of Which Is Of Her Unborn Sister
Human biology is one of tho complex subjects of nature that we still haven't fully understood and sometimes we are baffled by what it has to offer. Similar is the case of a young model Taylor Muhl who has a strange line starting from the chest and running down the center of her torso which basically divides her skin into two different colors as one side has fair white color while the other has a redish shade. Taylor found out about her split skin colors in school and her parents consulted the doctor right away but the doctors ruled out any sort of disease or condition and announced it just weird birth mark.
But as soon as Taylor started growing she began to face health issues which doctors couldn't seem to be able to find a reasonable answer because she was not carrying any contagious disease or virus. After Visiting several doctors she was finally diagnosed with a rare condition called Chimerism.
Chimerism is ginatic condition in which a poerson has two types of cells, DNA and even immune system. What actually happened is Taylor is a fraternal twin whose body was fused with her twin sister in womb of her mother. So becasue of the fact that she has two distinct blood cells in her blood stream her immune system finds the cells of her twin sibling as foregin and consatntly fights against them leaving Muhl with health issues.
In an interview Taylor said "My autoimmune issues started pretty heavily as a preteen, and that was very difficult being so young, especially not knowing why I was sick... Also, at times I did feel emotionally sad that my stomach appeared different than all my friends"
