双子の兄弟、CraigとBrentonの間に起こった不思議な現象についての記事、Twin Power（Reader's Digest 6月号）からの抜粋です。
The next day, when Craig and Nicole were out shopping, she pulled him aside to tell him the rash on his back was much worse. Thousands of kikometers to the north, Brenton had reacted to an insecticide in his room, gone into anaphylactic shock and been rushed to hospital.
（NicoleはCraigの奥さんです。）
