Reply to comment by Budget_Bathroom_1056 in TIL When a cow has opposite sex twins, the female twin is usually born intersex and infertile. This happens because the twins blood supplies are linked, which exposes the female to male sex hormones. by awawe

Apparently it does affect the twin somewhat but nowhere near the amount it affects most other mammals. It might be because we take so long to develop and that sex differences aren't so huge at a younger age for humans? That's just a guess from me though.

Reply to comment by insidiouslybleak in TIL cholera was reintroduced to Haiti after a century by UN peacekeepers responding to the 2010 earthquake. The resulting outbreak was the worst on record, killing 10,000 and infecting 820,000. by theworkinglad

Well, I got curious about the tetanus case so I just wanted to let you know the boy didn't die. He recovered completely, though he suffered for two months, and his parents still refused to vaccinate him after.

Reply to TIL that Hachiko, the dog famous for waiting for his owner for years after the owner's death, was stuffed and put into a museum by Yurekuu

I went to this museum and I was seriously shocked when I saw him there. I'd never known that was what happened to him.
