Carpenter allergic to wood
A city banker who quit his high-flying job to pursue his dream of being a carpenter has developed an allergy to wood. Swansea-based Dan Hill, 32, swapped his £80,000 a year City career at an investment bank in London to make exclusive wooden furniture. But just weeks into his new vocation, Mr Hill was covered in a red, itchy rash and his eyes were streaming.
Doctors said he was suffering a rare allergy to dust from the wood shavings. Mr Hill said: "I was gutted. All my friends thought I was mad giving up my city job and I felt really silly. "After all I had given up everything to become a carpenter I find out I'm allergic to wood.
"I decided I wanted to do something creative rather than just sitting behind a desk - something more worthwhile with my life.
