Although histamine levels are a part of it, there are other processes causing the condition, known as Aquagenic Urticaria. Ashleigh is one of only a few known cases and has to take cautious measures to make sure she doesn’t break out in a rash too often.

Chef cooked his own genitalia at banquet


Mao Sugiyama, a self-described "asexual" from Tokyo, cooked up, seasoned and served his own genitalia to five dinner at a banquet in Japan last month, Calorie Lab reported.

Sugiyama tweeted:
"I am offering my male genitals (full penis, testes, scrotum) as a meal for 100,000 yen …Will prepare and cook as the buyer requests, at his chosen location."

On Sugiyama's 22nd birthday, underwent elective genital-removal surgery, severed penis shaft, testicles, and scrotal skin between five people, and garnished it with button mushrooms and Italian parsley.

He later served six diners who signed up for the $250-a-plate dinner, sat down to eat. The sixth person was a no-show.
