Holy shit.
I don't even... what?
[QUOTE=PassTheBong;41779572]READ THE ARTICLE.[/QUOTE]
Unless the child is in constant state of a poisoning from acetone/alcohol or can fart all over his own body with the strength of a thousand suns, neither of those are logical.
C&H knew all along.

well since indians still believe rhino horn will heal all medical conditions im not too terribly supprised they'll write a report about a medical condition that isn't explained at all and just assume its a real condition
[QUOTE=Bradyns;41779559]Did you read the article, or just the OP?[/QUOTE]
this happens with everyone tho
[QUOTE=Bradyns;41779538]It has no solid scientific backing, only mere hypothesising..

Fitting avatar. :v:
World's worst superpower...
Dang, I thought the theory of spontaneous combustion went up in flames years ago!
Bullshit. The parents are lighting their baby on fire for media attention.

Not really a superpower when you can't control it.
Was his dad a drummer for Spinal Tap?

What? I'm gonna need a source on this, that sounds daft.
Also, please try not to use the Times of India as a source. it's the lousiest newspaper here in India and is more commonly referred to as the "ToI"let paper. Think of it as India's version of the Daily Mail.
A lot of the time, they just outright make up stories or deliberately misreport them to make them seem more interesting.
It's an awful newspaper, and I'd rather slide down the edge of a razor blade into a vat of iodine than go to their ad infested shithole of a webpage.
So, a baby shows up at a hospital four times with burns all over its body. Each time, the parents insist that the baby just "caught fire".
Totally not suspicious at all.
The fact that a doctor suggested that the baby be kept in a cold place really points to a lot of cluelessness on the part of the medical staff
If you get the baby cold enough to prevent a spark from lighting "methanogenic bacteria" you will have frozen the baby to death
Allofmywut

at least the baby will be fresh
Bullshit, no bacteria can produce that much methane from ingested food for an electro-static spark to ignite it. And how then it delivered to the surface of skin - you know, to catch fire?
Whatever it is, the kid needs treatment and surveillance, so we can truly know if the kid is actually combustible or just the victim of pyromaniac abuse. And whilst we're at it, probably give him an EEG cap to monitor brainwave activity just in case; it's a stretch yes, but it wouldn't hurt to check if certain brainwave patterns signal a prelude to combustion, even if it is actually down to bacteria and flammable gas rather than some sort of psychic emergence phenomenon.
But most likely it might be an abusive parent with a penchant for fire-torture; not judging the parent completely, but it's still a probability.

I'm Indian, and to my knowledge, this assumption is more directed towards the Chinese if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah I hate when it happens

"...but it was during or after season 7 so neither this nor the the complete reversal in her role surprised me much."
They really need to keep that baby at the hospital for some time and under monitoring before actually believing what bullshit the parents say.
SHC is still a mystery.
If this was a confirmed case it would be massive news because of how rare it is to catch someone with this condition before they're found in their homes as just a pile of ash.
The parents were probably careless and burned their kid and are playing it off as SHC for media attention and to not lose their child to child services.
SHC was my favorite part of roller coaster tycoon.
Wow that medical staff sound dangerously incompetent, SHC is [I]not[/I] a scientifically recognised condition and the fact that the baby gets its burns at home is a huge red flag
