A teenager from England suffers from a rare condition that makes her break into itchy and painful hives when she comes into contact with water
Imagine being allergic to WATER!!
Lindsey Coubray, a teenager from Wheathampstead, England is allergic to water thanks to a rare condition. She has to avoid everything from crying to sweating, even showering because of it.
