My guess would be pollution from severe, local overpopulation in India.

Absolutely. You can't tell me that stuff like this isn't contributing to the weirdness.

I will point out that India has over a billion people, more than 1/7 of the world's population, so when we read stories about awful deformities, it isn't necessarily a statistical anomaly but simply a matter of its huge population causing average incidence of disease in its citizens. Not only that, their health care system is woefully inadequate, so the diseases reach more advanced stages than in other countries before being treated.

Well...MILLIONS of people bathe in the Ganges River, which is horribly polluted. Between cremated ashes, sewage, corpses, and industrial waste...swamp monsters in the making.

I absolutely could not watch the video when I saw it the other day.

I’m glad that this boy got help. His quality of life will likely be much greater now.
