Laura Weaver, The Girl Who is Allergic to Almost Everything

13-year-old Laura Weaver has a rare skin condition which makes her allergic to almost everything. Doctors believe that her hyper-sensitivity is due to a breakdown of her immune system.

Laura's skin flares up after being triggered by any one of a dozen allergies. A whiff of perfume, the smell of an air freshener or just brushing past someone's clothes can leave her doubled over in pain. She is allergic to all dairy products, some fruit and wheat, all soaps, sprays and perfumes and even reacts to non-cotton clothing and some plastic furniture. A peanut would send her into lethal anaphylactic shock, and even central heating gives her a high temperature, breathing problems and causes her skin to come up in vivid red rashes.
