Love for his wife could kill this man. He has been told to steer clear of his wife. Reason: he is allergic to his wife's cosmetics.
Darren Young, 45, a bus driver from of Sprotbrough, South Yorks, had to be twice resuscitated when his heart stopped after dangerous allergic reactions.
The Sun reports that the allergy came to light when Darren was given a jab containing the chemical for a foot problem. In seconds his face swelled, his 6ft frame ballooned and his heart stopped and had to be restarted twice.
One of the world's rarest allergies has put the brakes on the couple's love life. Extensive tests revealed that Darren is allergic to most creams and cosmetics. This is the third such case in the world with an allergy to creams containing polyethylene glycol. Apart from cosmetics, Dareen must also avoid some types of food items, toothpaste, soap, shaving cream, suntan oil and even air freshener.
The man dare not cuddle up to Sue, his wife of four years, unless he is sure she is not wearing any creams containing polyethylene glycol.
"When it comes to bedtime Sue doesn't need a headache as an excuse. She just says she has been using body lotion and it might kill me", jokes the husband.
