Hey everyone,
Do you know the true story behind Robert Woodlow? He suffered from the disorder known as gigantism. Gigantism mean that there are too many growth hormones produced during childhood. Robert's heart was stranied to much because of the effort of having to pump the blood all the way though his body. When Robert cut his foot, it would take a very long time to heal, if to heal, because the blood takes longer to travel that far. Imagine what the bacteria would do during that time. So, instead of thinking you would like to be that tall, or even thinking he has it made. Think of the diffucalites and risks involved.
