Real Life Bubble Boy

Imagine spending your whole life in a plastic bubble?

This was the case for David Vetter, who died at the age of 12 years old, today in 1984.

Mr Vetter was born with a severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and unlike the comedy Bubble Boy with Jake Gyllenhaal, his life was not as adventurous. 

After just 10 seconds in this world, he was placed into a plastic incubator and it was beneath this that he would spend the rest of his life.

Approximately 1 in 1 million people are born with SCID.



 And just to think, I start getting cabin fever if I haven`t left the house all day...
