1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Ugh. Skin issues, eye issues, knee issues, ear issues. Some nice, some aggressive. If you’re sensitive, the hair will break you out into hives (they stand on end like little hypodermic needles). They get something called “Shar pei fever”. And it’s probably not pertinent, but they have this disgusting condition called mucinosis that causes them to exude a slime whenever they have a wound – makes performing surgery disgusting.
