Thing is porphyria was very rare. Especially in villages with only small amounts of ppl. You’d have to cross countries to find a case. I’d imagine this theory would make more sense if it was more prevalent.

It’s hard for me to sleep at night. I absolutely hate the smell of garlic and I'm sensitivite to the sun.. So I'd actaully like to know what that disease is.
