3.  He suffered a peculiar affliction in which blinding flashes of light
would appear before his eyes, often accompanied by
hallucinations. The flashes and images caused Tesla great
discomfort, and by the time he reached his teens he had taught
himself to repress them from occurring except in certain times of
stress. Tesla shunned physical contact with other people, with a
special aversion to touching hair. To avoid shaking hands with
people he met, he lied that he had injured his hands in a
laboratory accident. He apparently never took part in a romantic
relationship of any kind. A female acquaintance who grew
enamored of Tesla reportedly once took the initiative to kiss him,
causing the startled inventor to flee in agony.
