just wondering if anyone else heard this as well
That's interesting Jamie, i've never heard that before. It reminds me of my mum telling me "Vera, you know, besides from having that ilness you are very healthy!", eh eh eh.. it's somewhat funny.. She thinks i'm lucky for not having anything else apart from the cf.. I know she just wants to sound positive, dont blame her <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

It is a very interesting topic though AND funnily enough I have dark brown hair and eyes and my skin was very tanned as a child, BUT my 2 little CFers were born very white, bright blue eyes and light hair (Mikayla is dark blonde and Elisha is light brown with red through it). It actually looks like I brought the wrong babies home from hospital....<hr></blockquote>

My boys are both very fair, blond hair and blue eyes. We were told that cf started in Europe, and that it was natures defense to cholera.
