As much as we think we've perfected medical science, the truth is, there are still many things we don't quite understand about the human body. We know our way around the common cold and even some cancers, but there are some rare and unusual disorders that, to this day, doctors have no idea how to fix.

The crazy thing about these disorders is that they're so rare that people often times don't even know they have them, or if there are treatments for them.

A trip to the brewery is always a fun, but when you suffer from a disorder that essentially causes your body to brew alcohol inside itself, leaving you perpetually drunk, it's a little less enjoyable. Auto-brewery syndrome causes ethanol to be produced in the digestive system, resulting in the usual effects of drunkenness, such as dizziness and disorientation. Those who suffer from it often experience depression, because it's hard to find a job when you're constantly lit.

Are you getting headaches for no reason? Ever think it might be your Wi-Fi? In medical literature, the term electromagnetic hypersensitivity is not an official diagnosis and only refers to the variety of non-specific symptoms (such as headaches). In other words, there is no true link between electricity and the sufferer's symptoms, but that doesn't stop them from thinking this. In fact, in the show "Better Call Saul," there's a character who suffers from this.

We all know someone who tends to tell off-color jokes at the most inappropriate times, but what you may not know is that they could actually be experiencing rare neurological symptoms that make them addicted to spouting puns or sexual innuendos. It's called Witzelsucht. Although it may seem like it's caused by an overactive funny bone, the symptoms are actually due to damage to the frontal lobe of the brain.

To a person suffering Capras Delusion, the idea of human cloning is the greatest evil to man. This disorder is commonly linked with paranoid schizophrenia and causes the sufferer to believe that friends or loved ones have been replaced by identical impostors.

It might sound like an imaginative excuse from a cheating partner, but there is an actual disorder where people have sex in their sleep. Similar to sleepwalking or teeth grinding, people with this parasomnia aren't aware of what they are doing and have no memory of what they did when they wake up. There have even been a few cases where Sexsomnia has been used in court as a defense against sexual assault convictions.
