They say you learn something new every day and honestly I have never in my life heard of a disease that made it impossible for you to be touched.
I remember encountering something like that in Tina Fey’s award winning sitcom 30-Rock, but it turned out the lady was faking the whole thing and I assumed a disease like that was too preposterous to be true.
But that is the situation a family in the United States are facing with their newborn daughter Kiira Kinkles, according to Yahoo. The four month old was born to Kirsti and Jason Kinkles in California; and she was born with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, more commonly known as EB.
The condition affects only one out of 20, 000 newborns, and it causes skin to be so fragile that it can blister or even tear from the slightest bit of contact. According to her parents the only way to pick the baby up is with a soft blanket wrapped around her as a protective barrier.
