After A Year In Space, Scott Kelly’s Body Is Going Through Something Gruesome
Burning Rash
Within 48 hours of being back on Earth Kelly was weak and trembling like an elderly man. Not only had his legs swollen to the point of bursting, he felt like he was on fire,”‘My skin is burning, too,’ I tell her. Amiko frantically examines me. I have a strange rash all over my back, the backs of my legs, the back of my head and neck – everywhere I was in contact with the bed. I can feel her cool hands moving over my inflamed skin. ‘It looks like an allergic rash,’ she says. ‘Like hives.'”
All the comfort he has is his long-time love, Amiko, who desperately tries to comfort him as his symptoms get worse.
