7. Sweat Stopping
Part medical, part cosmetic, and all Frankenstein, ETS surgery removes portions of the sympathetic nerve trunk in order to treat cases of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). However, EDS doesn’t just cure sweaty palms and prevent armpit rings on your favorite shirt; it’s also used as a cosmetic procedure to treat excessive blushing. Side effects include chronic muscular pain, numbness, Horner’s Syndrome, hyperthermia, and fatigue. The most severe consequence of ETS, however, is corposcindosis, or split-body syndrome. As one region of the nervous system is paralyzed and the other functional, the patient feels like he’s living in two separate bodies.
