A QUEER PINCUSHION – Kitty HUDSON, a native of Arnold near Nottingham, born in 1763, has been called a human pincushion, from the fact that she acquired a habit of gathering pins and needles in her mouth, and during life a number of these household requisites came out of her body. Living with her grandfather, who was a sexton, she used to pick up and put into her mouth all the pins she found when sweeping the church. Such was the habit she acquired that she could neither sleep, eat or drink without pins in her mouth. Her limbs, however, began to feel numb, and failing in health she was sent to hospital, and there pins and needles came out of her legs, feet, arms, and other parts of her body. She however lived to get married and have a large family, and as long as Kitty lived – which was over seventy years of age – pins and needles kept coming out of her body.
