London, Sep 3 (TIWN) A teenager in the UK has gone blind and deaf after living off a diet of chips, crisps and sausages for up to a decade in a case believed to be the first of its kind in the country.

Blood tests showed the unnamed patient from Bristol in the United Kingdom had both macrocytic anemia and low levels of B12, according to a new report.  He was treated with injections and some much-needed dietary advice, although this turned out to only be the beginning of his problems.
