Sprotbrough, England (AHN) -- A British man says he breaks out into a rash if he gets too close to his wife.

The 45-year-old is allergic to a common ingredient used in many creams and body lotions. Darren Young is allergic to polyethylene glycol, England's Daily Telegraph reported.

Young discovered his allergy after receiving a steroid injection containing the allergen in his foot. His face swelled up, his heart stopped, and he had to be resuscitated.

Since he discovered his allergy, Young must be vigilant about studying product labels to make sure he doesn't come into contact with the chemical, The Sun reported.

The bus driver Young told England's The Sun his wife Sue doesn't have to lie and use a headache as an excuse at bedtime-all she has to tell him is that she's been using body lotion that kill him.
