Not new at all. Atropa belladonna has been used in centuries past to give women large pupils - which gives the illusion of larger eyes.

I often wondered why we make ourselves look sick in order to seem attractive. I seem to recall that consumptive women were considered sexy in the 18th and 19th centuries.

My own personal theory is that the human genome is so chock full of retroviruses and latent diseases that we are somehow drawn to sickness.
