But if  Lee even gives me a kiss on the cheek I have to wipe it off straight  away before the reaction comes up. 'It's a bit depressing not being able to  kiss, but Lee makes up for it in other ways by being affectionate and  buying me little gifts.' The allergy is not all bad however and gets Miss Prince out of doing the dishes and the washing. She  added: 'We'd like to have kids someday but it's something we would have  to consider carefully as I wouldn't be able to take care of all the  washing and cleaning <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/02/13/article-2100451-11B6CAA6000005DC-728_634x675.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> ...Of course, it's not all bad: Miss Prince's condition means she gets neatly out of doing the dishes and the washing 'Plus, I would hate to pass this onto my child and with it being so rare no one is able to say whether I would or not.' Miss  Prince, who does not work due to cubital tunnel syndrome, which affects  the use of both her arms, met Mr Warwick online ten years ago and they  became a couple on Valentine's Day in 2007.  Valentine's  Day holds a special significance for the couple as it was also the day  Mr Warwick proposed at Codnor Castle, near their home.  But  when the pair get in front of the altar in the near future, the wedding  party cannot expect a showy public display of affection when the groom  is invited to kiss the bride. Miss Prince said: 'He'll be getting a tiny peck on the lips, if that.'    Office temp Mr Warwick added: 'Sometimes I look at her and I really want to kiss her but I know I can't. 'I  do sometimes get a bit fed up. I have to do most of the housework so  I'm basically Rachel's slave and I don't even get a kiss at the end of  it. 'But I don't mind really, she's worth it.'      Miss  Prince is allergic to her own tears, saliva, sweat and blood. Even the  briefest contact with moisture leaves her skin covered in a red, angry  rash and unsightly hives. She first noticed the allergy at the age of 12 and it has gradually worsened over the years since then. She said: 'As I got older, it became a  proper rash whenever I was in contact with water. It burns and it  itches, it feels like my skin is on fire.       'It covers my face, chest and arms and recently I have noticed it on my legs as well.  'I used to love swimming and I learned how to swim in the sea so I would  love nothing more than to be able to have a paddle while on holiday, but I can't even do that.'   Because the condition is so rare, affecting just a handful of people worldwide, Miss Prince often gets strange reactions from people when they first  hear she is allergic to water. <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/02/13/article-2100451-11B6C795000005DC-257_634x794.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Painful puddle: Miss Prince, 24, 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 She said: 'I think people are quite  sceptical or don't believe me. No one has ever heard of it. I've even  had doctors tell me that you can't be allergic to water. But I know my  own body and I don't care what people believe. Miss Prince added that she gets bombarded with 'stupid questions' from people curious about the allergy. 'They  say, "how do I wash"? The answer is very quickly. When I have a bath I  am only in it for a few minutes at the most and then when I get out the  rash is so itchy and painful I have to lie down afterwards for some  time, it just totally drains me.    'I  carry an umbrella everywhere and I try to judge when it's likely to  rain, in which case I just stay in. When I go out I have a coat with a  huge hood on it like Kenny from South Park, just in case. 'Another  thing I get asked is how can I be allergic to water when my body has  water in it. I don't know, but I know I'm allergic to sweat and tears -  even my own blood.    'When  I drink water, it feels like my throat is closing up and it's very  uncomfortable. Fruit juice and tea is not so bad for some reason, but  obviously that has water in it too.'  Miss Prince has even been stared at in restaurants when she's sat down after being caught in the rain. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" /> <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2100451/The-woman-allergic-water-kiss-fiance.html" target="_blank">MAIL ONLINE</a> </blockquote>
