Unlike most Valentine's Day couples?-- kissing is strictly off the agenda for Rachel Prince and fiance Lee Warwick, 26, due to Miss Prince's rare allergy to water, the Daily Mail reported.

The condition, called aquagenic urticaria, means that even a few spots of saliva from Mr Warwick would bring Miss Prince out in horrible hives.

The allergy also means that the 24-year-old 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.

Miss Prince said: "If Lee even gives me a kiss on the cheek I have to wipe it off straight away before the reaction comes up."

The allergy is not all bad, however, and gets Miss Prince out of doing the dishes and the washing. （點擊《每日郵報》查看原文）

情人節 愛我就別吻我

???????據英國《每日郵報》報道，在情人節，與絕大多數情侶用深情的吻向對方表達愛意不同，吻對于瑞秋·普林斯和她的未婚夫26歲的李·沃里克來說卻是禁忌，因為普林斯對水過敏。

???????她患有一種叫做水源性蕁麻疹的病，即使是沃里克的一點點唾液都會使普林斯可怕的蕁麻疹發作。

???????患上這種病，意味著24歲的普林斯不能游泳，不能長時間洗澡，甚至連喝一小口冰水，喉嚨都會脹的厲害。

???????普林斯表示：“如果李在我臉頰上親一口，我得在皮膚過敏之前立刻擦干凈。”

???????雖然患上這種病很糟糕，不過，普林斯也因此不用洗盤子和碗。
