UK boy allergic to most Christmas things

A three year old boy in the UK is believed to be allergic to most of the things associated with the biggest holiday festival of the year, Christmas. Charlie Smith is allergic to nuts or cannot be near a real Christmas tree without severe consequences on his well being. He also suffers from eczema, which comes with colder temperature.

"Charlie's allergies and asthma mean that Christmas is a dangerous time of the year. We have to be careful to keep him safe all year, but particularly now," said his mother, Jo Smith. She also said that even as artificial tree could harm with dust gathering on it.

The boy's parents carry antihistamines and EpiPens with them all the time. They make sure that they buy only chocolates that are without nuts. They have to be so careful that they have to take care of Charlie's six-year-old brother Harry, who gets chocolates at school and might cause allergic reaction to his brother if he touches him with his chocolate-covered fingers.

The family is also not giant to prepare any cake and mince pies because the boy would need medical attention if anyone who ahs eaten peanuts even touches him.
