Turning into a Plant

Quick XMas post: This is truly creepy. After being pricked by a cactus, an Armenian girl began to grow thorns from her arm. The cactus had parasitized her, and after a time, some serious mutation occured:
When researchers studied the bigger thorns they arrived at a conclusion that they were no longer of vegetative origin. As a result of mutation, the patient got new unknown cells, some sort of a hybrid of a human and a plant. In other words, the young girl was turning into a cactus.
The article also discusses the genetic problems suffered by an abnormally large number of children in the area—are the country’s many nuclear sites to blame?

While this story is interesting, Pravda is not really a respectable news source, especially for matters that seem paranormal. If you search Pravda’s website for articles about UFOs, for example, you will see what I mean.

Yes, that seems likely. Even as fiction, though, i think the article is worth reading. In the future, I must be more careful to always express doubt in my posts so as not to inadvertently lead anyone astray or appear too myself…
