A man from England claims to break out into a rash when he gets close to his wife.
Darren Young is allergic to a component regularly used in common creams and body lotions.
His heart rate soars - it may even stop - and his body swells if he comes into contact with the chemical, known as polyethylene glycol.
Young says he cannot get close to his wife Sue unless she is free of all creams.
He said, "It's not just Sue - I can get a reaction if I go into a pub or a restaurant where a woman has been sitting. The doctors don't really know why it has suddenly happened."
He now has to be careful of what he touches and constantly carry medication.
