Helen Keller was not born blind and deaf; it was not until she was nineteen months old that she contracted an illness described by doctors as "an acute congestion of the stomach and the brain," which could possibly have been scarlet fever or meningitis.

Why is the line Do the Hellen Kellar taken out of 3OH3 song Don't Trust me?

The Helen Keller 'comment' was taken out of 3OH3's song Don't trust me because Helen Keller was a great woman who was sadly both deaf and blind. The comment was removed because it was seen as offensive to her memory and other deaf and blind people. (Some fans say this is unnecessary because the deaf and blind cannot hear the song or see it's lyrics)
