The life of 33 -year -old James Richardson, who lives in Nottingham, UK, has suddenly changed completely due to a peculiar disease. James, who once worked as a landscape, is now forced to leave his profession, because he is allergic to water. This is a very rare disease, due to which only 100 people in the world are suffering. James says that if a single drop of water falls on his body, he gets upset with terrible pain and rashes.
James was bitten by a worm about three months ago. However, in a few days the wound healed, but since then James’ condition has worsened. He told that as soon as he came in contact with water, red rashes and blisters started coming out on his body. This situation gradually became serious and after investigation, the doctors described it as a disease called Aquagenic Urticaria. According to James, if he takes a shower, his body goes through terrible pain and burning for more than six hours. The constant rainy season of Britain has increased their difficulties. Far from working in the rain, it has become a challenge for them. For this reason, he has left the work of landscaping.
Condition also worsened due to water drinking
The situation has become so serious that James cannot even drink water. As soon as they drink water, their body swells and the stomach swells abnormally. On the advice of doctors, now they are drinking milk for hydration. They say that by eating water or water -rich foods, their stomach swells as if they are pregnant. James first felt this problem on July 6, when blisters came out on his feet. On being taken to the hospital, the doctors said that it is probably the effect of insect bites and they were sent home after giving antihistamin medicine but two days later when James drank water, he was shocked anaphylactic. His throat and lips started swollen and became life. The doctors were shocked even after emergency investigations because the matter was very complicated. James was given steroids and antihistamins to control symptoms, but taking medicines for a long time caused serious problems like diabetes and asthma. For several weeks, he stayed in the hospital and stayed in bed. Now James has to quit his job and he is spending just 118.75 pounds per week government help. They say that they have left all cooking, cleaning and washing utensils because their body immediately reacts with water. Now they are living on such food like burgers and chips which are less of water.
