Yes, but this is a virus, which does make it difficult to treat. Remember, there are no cure for virus' only vaccines.

'Cat-girl' illness baffles doctors

A SIX-YEAR-OLD dubbed "cat-girl" has baffled doctors after thick grey hair started growing uncontrollably all over her body. Until just a few months ago little Li Xiaoyuan had just a tiny birthmark on her back. But hair started to grow from the mole — and quickly spread over her entire back and is now starting to grow on her arms and face.

Her dad Li Yan said: "Doctors told us it was just a birthmark even when it started spreading but now it covers half her body. None of the other children want to play with her they are calling her cat-girl and are really mean." Li's distraught mum, Li Jiang of Fengkai, southern China, said: "The poor girl - it breaks our hearts to see her suffer like this."

Surgeon Dr Lou Zhongquan of Zhaoqing City Dermatological Hospital believes the youngster may be suffering from a rare disease that sends normal moles out of control. He said: "If they were smaller we could use laser treatment but even if we removed these with surgery there is a very strong chance of post surgery haemorrhage."

I'm not sure if I believe this story. Surely any kind of hair would be similar to other cases like with 'wolfboy'?

Personally I think she fucked a hairy smurf and just isn't owning up to it.
