Mum-of-two allergic to sunlight feels ‘like a vampire’
A mum-of-two who is allergic to sunlight claims she ‘feels like a vampire’ as exposure to it leaves her covered in painful and itchy hives. Lesley Bletsoe, 34, was diagnosed with Polymorphic Light Eruption, which causes increased sensitivity to sunlight, at 21, when she came back from a holiday to Belguim covered in painful blisters and rashes. The stay-at-home mum says she’s forced to jump between shadows when she leaves the house as when there’s no cloud cover, picking up her son, Kaci, 15, from school or just sitting next to the window with daughter, Sophie, three, can leave her in agony.
