flag A UK landscaper quit his job due to a rare water allergy causing severe reactions, making daily life and work nearly impossible.

flag A 33-year-old landscaper from Nottingham, James Richardson, has quit his job due to aquagenic urticaria, a rare condition causing severe allergic reactions to water. flag Developed about 12 weeks after an insect bite, the disorder triggers painful hives and discomfort lasting up to six and a half hours when skin contacts water—rain, sweat, or showers. flag Affecting fewer than 100 people worldwide, the condition has made outdoor work impossible in the UK’s rainy climate and disrupted daily life. flag Richardson continues seeking medical help to manage symptoms that prevent normal routines.
