Guinness World Records reacts to news of man going blind in attempt to break longest crying Marathon (Video)
Guinness World Records has disassociated itself from the viral reports of a Nigerian man attempting to break a record for the longest crying Marathon.
Recall, it was earlier reported that the young man went partially blind following his bizarre attempt to break Guinness World Record by crying for 100 hours.
In a report released by an Instagram blog, Gossipmill, the Nigerian man identified as Tembu Ebere confirmed that he went partially blind while trying to set the longest crying record.
Speaking on his health issues with BBC, the man revealed that while he was trying to cry for 7 days without stop, at a point, he went temporarily blind and couldn’t see anything anymore for the moment.
He also revealed that concomitant effects such as headaches, puffy eyes and body pains had followed a 45 minutes of blindness.
The man said that he had to re-strategize and reduce how much he was wailing since it was causing him headaches.
In a new update, Guinness World Records disassociated themselves from such a record, stating that they did not approve it as they would never be able to monitor such a record.
“Just to quell some recent rumours, we wouldn’t ever monitor a record for the longest marathon crying. Here’s what can be monitored by our team”, the body wrote.
