Paper Woman’s body is covered with poems and notes

There is this syndrome called artificial urticaria which is extremely peculiar. Patients who have this find that words stay on their skin if they gently write on themselves using a fingernail. This seems cool and strange at the same time. You can leave notes on your own body! Who needs post it notes now right? Chinese grandmother Huang Xiangji is now of the patients being studied and her body is covered with poems and notes. Her body has turned into a piece of literary art! She is called ‘Paper Woman’ and she jokingly says that she can make shopping lists on her arm. She feels that there is no need for a pen or paper in her life. Sandra Hsu, of the Chinese Medical Association, said the skin disorder urticaria was common – but the form where sufferers can write on themselves was “very rare.” To use your body as a notebook must be really cool. For a writer, this seems like a delightful disorder to have.
