British Christopher Goldman will be able to leave his own house only in emergencies.

The man was a hostage to a rare disease, alpha-gala syndrome, in simple words, a life-threatening allergy to red meat, reports Sky News.

And no, retraining as a vegetarian won’t do.

Any contact with any mammalian by-product, including wool, dairy products and leather, causes a reaction. Even by airborne route.

Upon accidental contact, Christopher’s entire skin turns red, parts of his body begin to swell, and it becomes difficult to breathe.

It didn’t start by itself, a terrible allergy was the body’s reaction to a tick bite.

Since then, Christopher has to carefully select clothes, household items and food because almost anything can kill him. Relatively safe for him are only three rooms away from his house.

And then with him he is forced to carry medicine and a bracelet for emergency communication. House „arrest“ for medical reasons will obviously become life.

The youngster was bitten by a tick several times in woodland near his home in Woking, Surrey.
