Boyfriend and Girlfriend Go For a Romantic Walk Along The Beach. 48 Hours Later They Notice Their Feet Look Strange!

It was supposed to be a dream vacation, a way to unwind and relax on a tropical beach. But for one young Canadian couple, it turned out to be a nightmare. Katie Stevens, 22, and her boyfriend Eddie Zytner, 25, of Ontario Canada flew to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic looking forward to making new memories and had high hopes for their vacation. They checked into the IFA Villas Bavaro Resort which was a short walk from the beach and set out to make the most of their trip.
A few days into their stay was when they first noticed that both their feet were itchy, but they brushed it off as sand flies. They’d heard that the pesky insects were common in the area and thought nothing much of it. Yet with each passing day their feet grew more and more itchy surely, they thought, it would soon pass.
Upon returning home to Canada the itching persisted, not only had it gotten worse, but now their feet were painfully swollen and blistering. It soon got to the point where they had to seek medical treatment, so they headed to the local hospital. The first two doctors they saw were unsure as to what was causing their symptoms. Frustrated, they consulted a third doctor who finally had a diagnosis for them; it was a parasitic infection caused by larva migrans, more commonly known as hookworms.
The couple was immediately put on medication to treat the infection, but there was a hang up. According to Katie, “Health Canada denied out request to receive the medicine we needed to treat our infection and we were forced to get medicine from the States.” Because it was not licensed in Canada, their doctor had to put in a special request and submitted pictures of their blistered, swollen feet along with it. The response from Health Canada was that their cases were not severe enough, which makes you wonder what constitutes severe!
Thankfully Zytner’s mother drove to Michigan and was able to purchase the medicine for the couple who were extremely grateful for her help. Looking back on their trip, the couple believe they contracted the parasitic infection when they went for a walk barefoot on a beach early on during their stay. Soon after that was when they noticed their feet were itchy and from there it snowballed out of control. Now that their wounds have healed and the infection is gone they won’t be walking barefoot on the beach anytime soon.

What’s Your Psychic Power?
image via – shutterstock.com
As humans, we are capable of a lot more than we think we are. For some odd reason, we don’t like to admit that we are magnificent beings with infinite wisdom and ability. We seem to prefer to trap ourselves in mundane routines and limitations of our physical body.
Think about the possibilities of our mind. With our imaginations, we can travel to anywhere we could want to go, even places that don’t exist in our physical world. Not only that, but studies show that we receive the same physiological benefits through visualization as through actual experience.
If our talent for fantasy is that strong, then what does that mean about what we are able to perceive from our surroundings? If we have the brain power to create physical reactions to vivid imagery, then how could we be limited in the opposite direction? It must be that we have an unlimited ability to intake information, since there is endless potential to how that information can be perceived.
It would appear that in the same way we decide where our imaginations navigate, we also decide what knowledge we let in to our psyche. If every person has the capacity to take in more than what we typically see, smell, feel, taste or hear, what sixth sense do you possess? Are you limited to just six senses?
You could be exceptionally clairaudient and receive messages from another realm, listening to the little voice in your head. Maybe you are clairvoyant and perceive events before they happen. There is also the special gift of clairsentience, in which you feel deep in your gut the energy from people, places and things in the past, present or future. Claircognizance is another process of awareness where you just know something that you have no explanation for knowing.

After This Guy Literally Just Finished Building His Dog Fence In The Yard He Let His Dog Out To Test It.
image via – facebook.com
Dogs love going outside to get some fresh air and exercise and for responsible owners that means they have to either put them on a leash and take them for a walk or go to the dog park. Unless, of course, they have a sturdy fence installed that allows the dog to roam free and explore the yard safe and securely. The convenience of having a fenced-in area for your pets at home simply make people’s lives easier and they also make life easier and happier for the pup, and a lot more fulfilling!
One guy, YouTube user rgraves62002 decided that his best friend in the world, an adorable dog named Stella, could benefit from a nice penned in area. He rescued Stella after finding her in a dumpster and saw how much she loved to run and jump around, so she needed a place to play in and keep her from wandering off…
Knowing how much of a jumper the pup Stella was he tried to figure out how high she could leap before he went out and bought a fence. He set up a test and explained in the comments that he “had Stella jump a baby gate inside and when she stopped jumping it I added 6 inches.”
After putting up the new fence he couldn’t help but admire it and the clip he posted shows the end result of all his hard work and effort. He can be heard in the background saying “Yep, just completed fixing this fence. Pretty proud of it I’d have to say. Trying to keep Stella in the yard.”
As if on cue Stella comes running, she flies right by the camera, and leaps up and over the new fence in a single bound!! She barely paused and cleared the top with room to spare. Moments later the man simply says “Dammit!” It’s the perfect reaction to the moment and one can only imagine what a stupefied look he must have on his face. Stella: 1 Fence: 0!
In the end, the fence didn’t end up going to waste. The man commented that he re-purposed it into “a tree house with a zip-line for my grandson!” so it wasn’t a compete failure. This video just goes to show how everything worked out for the best, and how agile some dogs are! Show this hysterical video to other dog lovers and anyone else who will appreciate the hilarity of this moment.

This Guy Sold One of His Kidneys For a New iPhone. But Then The Doctors Spot Something Horrifying!
image via – youtube.com
We all know someone who has to have the latest and greatest gadget on the market. For some it’s the fastest computer, others drool over the most advanced smart TV, but the one thing that people really go nuts for are cell phones. It seems that consumers can’t get enough when it comes to smart phones and every year companies roll out ever more technologically advanced models.
For years the iPhone led the pack as the most sought after cell phone in the world and people were lining up to buy the newly released versions. While the frenzy has died down quite a bit, the Apple brand still has loyal, die-hard fans who will only buy iPhones. One extreme example of this comes from the Chinese news media who ran a story about a man named Wang, also called Xiao Zheng little Jiang. Wang really, really wanted an iPhone, but his parents could not afford one, so he ended up taking drastic measures to get one instead.
In exchange for one of his kidneys the 17 year old Wang was given 22,000 Yuan, which in US dollars equals about $3,227, which was enough to buy the phone he wanted. The illegal deal and surgery were set up on the black market with some sketchy people he found online acting as middlemen. Unbeknownst to his parents or anyone else, he then travelled to a location in the Hunan Province where he met a surgeon and had his kidney removed. On the way back he bought the iPhone 4 he so desperately wanted plus an iPad 2, and he thought that things seemed to be going well.
However, shortly after the surgery Wang’s health took a turn for the worse. When he could no longer hide his declining health from his parents, they found out the shocking truth of what happened to him and immediately called the police. Upon investigating the police found that the operating theater where he had his surgery was not properly sanitized and carried out in an underground hospital, which led to him developing an infection in his one remaining kidney. Nine people who were involved in his surgery were arrested and jailed, while Wang and his family received 1.47 million Yuan ($214,130) in compensation.
Since then Wang’s health has only gotten worse. By the time he told his family about the illegal surgery and went to a hospital for proper treatment his remaining kidney had become severely infected. The damage was irreversible and without a kidney working to filter his blood he had to be placed on permanent dialysis. Now he is 25 years old and bed ridden, hooked up permanently to a dialysis machine, while his parents spend all their money on his treatment. It goes without saying that no tech device is worth an organ or risking your life for. While Wang’s story is sad, it’s also a cautionary tale for teenagers who want the latest and greatest, no matter the cost.

Girl Runs Out Of Restroom Crying In Mcdonald’s Then Her Mom Notices a Strange Spot On Her Leg!
image via – youtube.com
When you are a little kid you are always trying to prove to your older siblings and parents that you can do everything they can do. It’s a constant struggle between trying to grow up too quickly and not trying to stay a baby forever. So many kids do need to learn how to be on their own and be independent but, as a parent there is a very thin line between your child’s independence and safety.
This brings us to today’s heartbreaking story about a mother named Nicole and her four year old baby girl Kaya. One afternoon they went to good ol’ Mcdonald’s for lunch. Like many kids her age McDonalds is her favorite restaurant and a treat she always looks forward to. Between happy meals, the toys and the ball pits and slides, McDonalds is like heaven.
They arrived at McDonalds that day, ordered their food, ate it and everything was fine. Then she asked her mama if she could go to the bathroom on her own to prove that she wasn’t a baby anymore. Her mom said yes thinking it should be fine, she will wait right outside and what could possibly go wrong?
Seconds before the young girl went into the bathroom her mom noticed 2 teen girls giggling as they exited the restroom.. It wasn’t a big deal, just some kids being kids and she didn’t really pay too much mind to those teen girls.
Kaya went into the bathroom for a few minutes and everything seemed fine. All of a sudden, Nicole heard a shrill scream and hysterics coming from the bathroom like she had never heard before! This wasn’t the first time Kaya was screaming or crying, but there was something about the sound of fear and panic in her young daughters voice that she knew something was seriously amiss.
Nicole got into the bathroom and looked in horror as she saw Kaya a few feet from the toilet and she her leg was bleeding. Her mom rushed over to her not knowing what was going on.
They would later find out that those two giggling teens were laughing because they put superglue on the toilet so that the next person who sat down would get stuck! The poor victim to the teens cruel prank was Kaya, who somehow got herself off the seat but the top layer of skin on her leg was still stuck to the seat.

Sketchy Clerk Says To Guy His $600 Lotto Ticket Is Worth Only $5 Not Realizing He’s An Undercover Agent.
image via – youtube.com
People play the lotto to win, it’s that plain and simple. Even if the prize is just enough to break even and cover the ticket cost, or you hit the mega jackpot, it feels good when you win something. If you ever do play and win, a good rule of thumb is to always make sure you sign the back of the winning ticket right away. That way if it is lost or stolen no one else can legally claim the prize for themselves, only the person who signed it can. Think of it as if you are receiving a check from someone and if you want to cash it you have to sign the back first.
Signing a ticket is the first line of defense against lotto fraud and protecting your winnings, but there are many other types of it out there that you should be aware of. If people can make a quick dollar by ripping someone else off, then they will do just that.
While there is a small minority of people who play the lotto religiously regardless of how much money is up for grabs, the vast majority of people play sporadically. They’re the ones who buy tickets when they are feeling lucky or when the Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot is approaching record numbers. They also are less likely to know the game rules and many check to see if they won anything by going to a store that sells lotto tickets and having the cashier scan it.
That’s exactly what one man did recently at a Winn Dixie in Fort Meyers, Florida. He gave the ticket to the clerk on duty at the time, Crystelle Yvette Baton, who scanned it and told him he won $5. She paid it out, kept the ticket, and the man went on his way. A couple hours later, the man came back and arrested the clerk for grand theft larceny, but why?
Apparently, the cashier was engaged in a scam that has become more common whereby customers who come in to cash their winning tickets are told they are not winners or that they won much less than the actual amount. First the cashier scans the unsigned ticket, if it is a winner for $100, they might say that the customer won $5, pay them the money, and throw the ticket out. The customer then leaves, the cashier fishes the winning ticket out of the garbage and cashes it in, netting themselves $95 in the process.
Which leads us back to Crystelle Baton who was running this exact scheme. Her luck ran out when the man walked in the store that day because he happened to be an undercover agent working for the Florida Lottery Commission’s security division. He knew he had a winning ticket in the amount of $600, so when she scanned it and told him he’d won $5, she sealed her fate. After paying him the $5 from her own wallet she then slipped the winning ticket in a notebook she had nearby and would have undoubtedly cashed it in later if she hadn’t been arrested.
This particular scam appears to be on the rise and while undercover stings catch some perpetrators, many more go unnoticed. As mentioned before, it’s always best to sign any winning ticket you buy and check the numbers yourself. Also, there are electronic checkers on the counters of businesses that sell the lotto, so you can scan the ticket yourself and avoid being lied to.
