Meet the brave teenager who is allergic to pretty much everything.
His jeans, batteries, Xbox and even iPads make his skin fall off.
Only child Antonio Maiocco, 13, has been left with lifelong allergies to hundreds of everyday items and foods since a bout of Scarlet Fever attacked his immune system two years ago.
The teen, who has been called Freddie Krueger by bullies, must take extreme precautions to avoid contact with nickel, colbalt and blue dye to prevent his skin ‘shedding like a snake’.
His mum Lynn, 44, claims Antonio’s unusual allergies, which she calls ‘the beast’, have turned their lives upside down since his first flare-up in summer 2014.
Nickel-free jewellery maker Lynn, said: “Blue dye is in everything, you wouldn’t believe it.
