  Girl, 5, chews her fingers until there are none
  

  XIAN (Shaanxi) - A five-year-old girl chewed off all her 10 fingers in three years after a fever that is believed to have damaged her nerves . . .

  
  

  A doctor who examined her suspected that the fever brought on cerebral palsy.

  
  

  As a result, both her brain and nerve endings were damaged, blocking the sensation of pain when she bit her fingers.
