Spanish parents trying to fight their receding hairlines are inadvertently inducing "werewolf syndrome" or hypertrichosis in their babies, doctors have confirmed.
The popular hair-loss drug minoxidil, when used topically by parents, is absorbed by infants either through skin contact or breastfeeding and causes excessive body hair growth, which fortunately regresses as soon as parents stop taking the drug.

🚨NATION-STATE SYSTEM VS WORLD ECONOMY THE ROOT OF COMING US🇺🇸 WAR AGAINST CHINA🇨🇳
‘American capitalism is itself immensely dependent on a world economy including the resources of Russia and China, it’s actually that which is the driving force for control.
