In an illness straight out of a science fiction story, Calvino Inman cries blood up to three times a day. His doctors as of yet cannot figure out why it's happening, but Inman offers this description:

Sometimes, I can feel it coming up, like a tear. I feel my eyes watering. Sometimes, it will burn as it comes out. I've been called possessed by almost all of my friends. I guess I'm used to it now. At first, it kind of hurt my feelings

The teen's mother says Inman has had MRIs, CAT scans and other diagnostics but to no avail.

Calvino and his mother went on CBS's "The Early Show" and their medical correspondent reports that doctors do believe, but can't confirm, that Calvino is suffering from "Haemolacria."

Wikipedia defines Haemolacria as a physical condition that causes a person to produce tears that are partially composed of blood. It can manifest as tears that are anything from merely red-tinged to appearing to be entirely made of blood." However, it is a symptom of other diseases, so more diagnostics need to be done.
