Conjoined Twins Prove Life’s Crazier When You’re Stuck Together 24/7

Harmony in Different Immune Worlds

A fascinating aspect of the Hensel twins’ lives is how one twin can fall sick while the other remains perfectly healthy. Since Abby and Brittany have separate vital organs and immune systems, they’re not always affected by the same illnesses. For instance, Brittany tends to catch colds more often, while Abby has never had pneumonia, even though Brittany has experienced it twice.

Over the years, they’ve learned to adjust to each other’s needs despite their physical connection. Abby overheats easily, while Brittany stays cool. Abby is fearless and outgoing, while Brittany is more cautious, and even afraid of heights. Their constant communication and compromise make their shared life harmonious.
