Rare water allergy means woman can't kiss fiancé

A British woman is allergic to kissing her fiancé.

Rachel Prince suffers from a rare medical condition that makes her allergic to water, and even a drop of saliva could see her break out in nasty hives.

The condition also means Rachel, 24, cannot go swimming, have baths, enjoy cold drinks or ever get caught in the rain.

She is quoted by the Daily Mail newspaper as saying: "It does get me down because obviously I want that intimacy and that closeness. But if Lee even gives me a kiss on the cheek I have to wipe it off straight away before the reaction comes up.

"It's a bit depressing not being able to kiss, but Lee makes up for it in other ways by being affectionate and buying me little gifts."
