About the Zebra: 🦓

The zebra is the recognised symbol for rare disease awareness, including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).

In medical training, there’s a well-known saying: “When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.” It encourages clinicians to look for the most common explanations first. While that approach has value, it can also mean rare conditions are overlooked, dismissed or missed altogether.

The zebra reminds us that rare conditions do exist, even when they don’t look the same from one person to the next. Just like zebras, no two experiences are identical, but that doesn’t make them any less real.

Wearing the zebra helps raise awareness, spark conversation and remind others to consider the less common answers too.
