The long winter days can be tough on most people as they crave the sunshine of summer.<\/p>\n

However, this is particularly true of Aidan Smith, because the young boy is bizarrely allergic to the cold.<\/p>\n

Due to his condition, he will break out in hives if touched by anything colder than his body temperature.<\/p>\n

It means young Aidan never leaves the house without his gloves, scarf and balaclava on.<\/p>\n

His mother Melissa stated: "It can just be a little breeze in the summer that causes a reaction. He can't have ice lollies or ice cream and has to brush his teeth with warm water."<\/p>\n

It must be tough for the young lad, but I have never heard of anything like this before.<\/p>\n

One thing's for sure, he'll not be taking any trips to the North or South Pole anytime soon and I think Australia would be a much better destination for him.<\/p>\n
