Locked herself in- for 26 years!

Ok, here's another freaky story...
Cause: fear of germs.
A woman named Carmela, 56, from Rome, locked herself inside her house for 26 years! She refused to meet other people. Just some days ago Carmelas brother confessed this to the police in the city of Macerata. -My sister decided, 26 years ago that she didn't want to be in contact with any living oranism, all of this just because of her "germofobia". During these 26 years her brother came with sterilized babyfood! - I went there one time per week and gave her food and other necessary supplies, I put the bag outside the door and went away.
Camela's brother became sick and had to go to the hospital and he therefor had to tell the police to help her. But when the police came she refused to open, so they had to break in to her appartment.
The policemen were welcomed with a horrible smell, and the Camela at that time only weighed 30 kg and had over 2 meter long hair!
This is sooo disgusting!
