Cooped up: Abbie Tully, 12, pictured left with mother and full-time carer Nina, suffers from a condition called cold urticaria. Her allergy to cold temperatures means she has been stuck indoors since November
Reaction: Exposure to the cold causes Abbie's skin to erupt in an angry, painful rash
Deadly: As well as the rashes seen above, Abbie's condition means a sudden change in temperature could cause her to go into anaphylactic shock
No cure: Abbie shows the allergy's effect on her face. The danger of more severe symptoms means she has to carry an adrenaline syringe at all times
