Tianna Lewis McHugh looks dead when she has a crying fit. When she cries, she dies – or so it seems, turning white and stiffening up like a corpse before the 2-year-old comes back to life. A British baby has a rare seizure condition that appears to kill her when she cries.
“She cried for seconds and then she looked like she had died,” mom Ceri Lewis, 23, told the British paper The Express last week. “She went a deathly gray, her lips and around her eyes were blue and her eyes rolled back,” the mother said.

WASHINGTON – The Food and Drug Administration approved the new swine flu vaccine. A long-anticipated step as the government works to start mass vaccinations next month. Limited supplies should start trickling out the first week of October — about a week earlier than expected.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told Congress. Eventually, “we will have enough vaccine available for everyone,” Sebelius said. Typically fewer than 100 million Americans seek flu vaccine every year, and it’s unclear whether swine flu — what scientists prefer to call the 2009 H1N1 strain — will prompt much more demand. This year is unusual: Many people will have to line up twice for flu vaccine, once to be inoculated against regular winter flu and a second time for an H1N1 vaccination.
The new swine flu seems no more deadly than regular winter flu, which every year kills 36,000 Americans and hospitalizes 200,000. But there’s an important difference: This H1N1 strain sickens younger people more frequently than the people over 65 who are the main victims of seasonal flu.
