A young man who was known as the "world's most allergic boy" has died aged 20. His parents have paid an emotional tribute to Paul Braithwaite, who they said "took everything in his stride".
When he was born, Paul was the only Brit in history known to be diagnosed with eosinophilic gastroenteropathy. It was a condition that saw him get rashes and vomit after contact with sunlight, grass, fabric, dust and animals.
Paul was also allergic to dozens of types of food. He suffered immense stomach problems as well as other effects and the medication used to treat it often leads to side effects such as the stunting of growth, reports HullLive.
