Just one more reason to not have kids

I didn't really need another excuse not to have kids, but this one is a doozie. I mean... suck. A 21 year old British woman developed a rare disorder after giving birth; an allergy to water. And it is water in any form. She can't drink coffee or tea because her throat will swell. She can't bathe without breaking out in a weeping rash. She can't hug someone who is crying or sweating. She can't hold her baby in case he drools on her, as babies are wont to do. I can think of a lot of allergies that suck, but I am pretty sure this one takes the cake. And it is all because she reproduced. As if child birth isn't risky enough....woman with water allergy - AOL Health

Hmmm... that kind of suck with the body being 70% water - is she allergic to most of herself?

My sister became allergic to apples after she had my nephew, and she loves them.
