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. （点击《每日邮报》查看原文）

情人节 爱我就别吻我

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，在情人节，与绝大多数情侣用深情的吻向对方表达爱意不同，吻对于瑞秋·普林斯和她的未婚夫26岁的李·沃里克来说却是禁忌，因为普林斯对水过敏。

       她患有一种叫做水源性荨麻疹的病，即使是沃里克的一点点唾液都会使普林斯可怕的荨麻疹发作。

       患上这种病，意味着24岁的普林斯不能游泳，不能长时间洗澡，甚至连喝一小口冰水，喉咙都会胀的厉害。

       普林斯表示：“如果李在我脸颊上亲一口，我得在皮肤过敏之前立刻擦干净。”

       虽然患上这种病很糟糕，不过，普林斯也因此不用洗盘子和碗。
