Garfield, New Jersey, has a feral cat epidemic - with more than 200 cats roaming the streets, residents are concerned about health and safety! 2. For six years, a man displayed symptoms of drunkenness but claimed he consumed no alcohol. It was discovered he had a rare disease known as auto-brewery syndrome, a condition that causes bacteria in the gut to transform carbohydrates into alcohol! 3. Hobby grower Mike Smith invented the Dragon's Breath chili pepper - a pepper so hot that it can cause anaphylactic shock and close your airways. It measures 2.48 million Scoville heat units, that's almost double the Carolina Reaper!
