RARE ALLERGY TO THE SUN

Lorraine Valentine has been dubbed a ‘real life vampire’ as she suffers from a rare skin disease that causes a severe burning sensation when exposed to sunlight. She ended up in hospital for six days as her skin swelled up and she was in agony. She always desires to go to the beach with her children, but is limited to staying indoors because of this condition. A fan in her house is the only way in which she copes with the heat that causes her extreme pain. She said that it was only at night that she could enjoy the holiday, going to the beach and exploring the town.
