Sunburns & Snickers: These Beach Pics Will Make You Thankful for Air Conditioning!

The Extra Arm That Wasn’t

In a picturesque beach setting, an influencer’s attempt at the perfect jump shot took a whimsical turn. As she soared, striking a dynamic “running person” pose, her braid morphed into what seemed like an extra arm!

At first glance, one might wonder if she’s a rare case of polymelia. In this condition, an individual is born with additional limbs—though this occurrence is exceedingly rare, with about 6 in every 10,000 live births exhibiting this anomaly, primarily affecting the lower limbs as per NIH (National Institute of Health) statistics. But fear not, this beach-bound extra limb phenomenon was nothing more than a hair-raising optical illusion.
