Money makes her hands swollen, reddened, itchy and blistered.Holding money for most people is the most fun. But for Emma Killilea, holding the coin will make her hands swell, itch and blister.
39-year woman suffering from severe allergy to objects containing nickel and copper - including coins, jewelry, metal buttons and zippers. Once exposed to metals containing nickel, red welt and feels hot and itchy will last up to 24 hours.
Nevertheless, there is no medicine to treat her condition. As a result, she would prefer to use credit cards when shopping rather than holding cash. In fact, she could not wear nail polish base layer because it contains nickel.
"It's very difficult and frustrating. Because you'll always find new things that contain nickel."
Emma always be careful every time it comes into the store and wait until last so as not to hold the money for too long. She even had to use plastic gloves to keep skin protected.
"My brother always joked I was always obsessive when purchasing a handbag. That's because I'm trying to find a bag of the most secure," she told the Daily Mail.
Her condition began to be felt at the age of nine years. At that time, she received a gift from her aunt's necklace. After wearing the gift, she began to feel the itching in the parts in contact with jewelry.
The more mature, she began to realize allergy and finally did her best to avoid the nickel and copper.
In addition to metal allergy, Emma also has Celiac disease and Delicious Alchemy, which makes it important to eat gluten free. She haseExperienced relatively rare disease in Britain, even in the world.
"This is an extreme case, where people will have trouble eating and holding the money," said Lindsey McManus of Allergy UK Agency.
The way to avoid it, he says, is simply avoiding the trigger whenever possible and taking an antihistamine to help relieve the symptoms of allergic reactions. (Umi)
