British gymnast Natasha Coates is allergic to everything

In 2012, British gymnast Natasha Coates felt a little tingle on her lips after eating an apple. Tomatoes and strawberries soon followed. Months later, a severe anaphylactic reaction left her unconscious. Eventually she was diagnosed with a condition that was recognized only a few years ago. Growing hair causes her pain and she has an allergic-like reaction to her own tears.
Coates relays her harrowing journey in a video on the UK-Based Barcroft TV. The now 22-year-old has been diagnosed with a rare and disturbing condition known as mast cell activation syndrome.
