When and why did my body develop this reaction of fainting?

I am not in the least bit squeamish, but the first time I saw an X-Ray of my head, I went down. “Oooh neat! I can see the inside of my skull! Wait. The inside…” <<thud>>

I saw a cadaver museum, too. I was down in Georgia this last summer and we decided to check out the “Bodies Exhibit”. It was really fascinating and cool, but I also noticed that in there I was feeling more and more sick/fainty/harder to breathe over time, and had to go through the last part of it rather quickly.

It’s a shame. Again, I wasn’t really focusing on the “Dead bodies, ewwww!” but I guess there are some things that the brain can take but the body will not.

Oh, and I got a book from there! It’s called “Stiff”, and it’s all about how cadavers are used today when they’re donated to science. I highly recommend it!
