DON'T PICK YOUR NOSE!

Van Der Merwe's oldest son Kobus had been rushed to hospital suffering from a condition that baffled - and STARTLED! - even the most experienced Doctors. Dr Perreira (ex Cuba) had been called in to examine Kobus as it was widely held that due to difficult economic times and sub standard hygiene, Cuba probably had more than it's fair share of unusual ailments manifesting.
But Dr. Perreira was baffled, he too had never seen anything like this. With a mixture of hand signals and 'pidgin' English he managed to convey to his South African colleagues 'NO COMPRHENDO IL PROBLEMO'  The senior local Doctor - Dr aykonaas - who had graduated from medical school in Harare, Zimbabwe - was rather concerned. What was it that had afflicted this 32 year old Boer? Who has ever seen symptoms like this? Could this even be treated? HE commented:EISH!" "oh oh oh oh" (Roughly translated means: " Oh my goodness" )

Not only did young Van Der Merwe have almost total memory loss - which his family had told doctors had been an on going process for at least 20 years - but his IQ had literally dropped to that of a four year old child! But - MOST STARTLING OF ALL - seventy five percent of his head had caved in and his skull shape was almost like a plate!! Almost everyone was baffled. Even intense research on the internet produced little in the way of information.
But Kobus's Ma had the answer, she knew what had happened . In her own words: "Ja, I told Kobus nearly every day that if he picked so much stuff out of his nose then his kop would collapse!".
