Girl, 6, with rare allergy to cold could die outdoors as family consider move abroad

A mum has told how she fears for the life of her six-year-old daughter when she goes outside as she is allergic to the cold and could die on the school run.

Kelsey Quant, from Exeter, suffers from a rare condition called chronic cold urticaria meaning that she can't be outside for more than a few minutes without breaking out in painful hives and her throat swelling.

Her allergy is so severe that mum Kimberley Quant says she has to completely wrap up little Kelsey and run to their car or her exposed skin will be covered in blisters.
