TWITCHY TWITCH

This is probably the umpteenth time someone is blogging about a twitching eye, but nevertheless my eye is twitching like hell.
A little bit of research on the net tells me about the scores of superstitious beliefs surrounding myokymia ( the medical term for it)

The chinese believe that a twitching left eye is good for males and a twitching right eye is good luck for females

The Indian version is exactly the opposite.

The Lost islands of Mekamekari believe that the right eye twitch signifies an alien invasion while a left eye twitch is a sure sign that a flying cow will crap on your head ( I just made that up , including the ficitional nation)

But on a serious note, a twitch can be caused by lack of sleep, fatigue , anxiety or too much caffeine.....

So the next time ur eye twitches, just relax and take a nap
