SO ALLERGIC TO WATER I CAN'T EVEN KISS MY FIANCE
A woman with a rare allergy to water has told how the condition is so severe it prevents her from KISSING her fiance. Rachel Prince, 24, is so allergic to water she cannot even kiss her fiance Lee, 26, as just a few spots of his saliva would bring her out in horrible hives. The condition, called aquagenic urticaria, means Rachel cannot go for a swim, enjoy long baths or even drink a cold glass of water as her throat swells up whenever she takes a sip. Her long-suffering partner Lee Warwick, 26, has to do all the dishes every day plus the washing, and cannot even expect a peck on the cheek for his chivalry. And while most couples will be indulging in some serious snogging this Valetine's Day, Rachel and Lee will have to settle for some hand holding and a cuddle.
