WEIRD but is it TRUE?!

Hold your water!

Michaela Dutton, 21, of Birmingham England, has found that she's suddenly become allergic to water. She now only drinks diet soda, & is only able to shower for just 10 seconds at a time. Worst of all, she can hold her 3-year-old son only briefly when he cries because she might come into contact with his sweat, tears, & saliva.

This allergy affects only 1 in 230 million people!, and as of yet there is no treatment. Can you imagine? I can't. I'm a mild clean freak. I have to take at least one shower a day. It's sad- I feel bad for her. Just think how much deodorant & perfume that poor girl is going to have to buy.

Just because it's april 21st doesn't mean it's april fools all over. JK.

I saw this! I wonder if she's allergic to something in the water...? It just doesn't make sense. Aren't our bodies like 90% water?

Stefany said...

I thought you said somewhere on here that you seldom shower?

Anyway, that is quite odd. Gwennie's reaction was my own... There must be SOMETHING in the water.

All I can say is... that f***ing sucks! I don't know how I would cope with that. Actually, I wouldn't. I'm a bit of a germaphobe... And to not hold your child! So sad.

DB-JK,

Nice to see you commenting again, THANKS! Despite my occasional "peppering" of the truth, I read that from the printed page, & NO, it wasn't the World News or The Star! ;-)

You're right Gwennie- It doesn't make a lick of sense, however not much does these days.

Good memory Zetz! That was the old me. I recently was released from solitary where I transformed into the new-old me. See, ANYTHING's possible if you wish upon a star, or at least a chocolate malted!

PS- What language sweet Stef!- remember FLAST is an ALL ages blog. I don't want to get dropped from Blogger due to a few rotten apples- however there is that whole apple a day thing & all...

;-)

definitely weird AND complete Hogwash!

The woman can not possibly be allergic TO water - the human body is essentially a "bag of water" in which our blood, celluar fluids, etc are mostly water with some "stuff" floating around in it.

Oh... and WTF does she think the primary ingredient in diet soda is??????? it's WATER! HELLOOOO!!!??? *smacks Michaela in head - HARD*

What she has is serious sensitivities to things in the water - minerals, organics, etc. She needs much more testing and then a good water purifier with specialized filters.

Hey, what the FU--DGE... I bleeped myself!

And, could I be a rotten mango instead? I just discovered how amazing they taste, and now I can't get enough of em'!

HI Nariane- I tend to agree, although I did find it very interesting. Apparently someone believed the story had merit as it was printed in the papers. Then again, coulda been a slooow news day. ;^0

I love that word "Hogwash"! I'm also a fan of boulder-dash, whatever that means.

THANKS for commenting!

I like fudge Stef- unless it's the gritty & sandy tasting kind- oh, & NO nuts!

Forget the mango, you're sweetly rotten!
