Someone With A Water Allergy on: Not Giving Up On Your Health


Listen Later

Imagine if a single drop of water could ruin your life. It's the reality for Niah Selway, whose rare water allergy means that any contact with water triggers an allergic reaction which feels like an intense burning and itching sensation all over her body. 

So how does she cry? Or bathe? What if she sweats? Is there a cure? And how do you get a diagnosis when what you're saying is so bizarre that doctors don't believe you?
