A young girl has been forced to stay indoors this winter because a rare allergy to the cold could kill her.

The schoolgirl suffers from a condition called cold urticaria and being outside for just a few minutes leaves her with painful rashes all over her body. The allergy is so bad it has even landed her in hospital after she developed breathing difficulties.
