They are beautiful but it comes at a very sad price.
My partner has to be checked every month for skin cancer because he doesn't have the melanin we have to protect from UV
.
Oh and I got Leucism wrong a bit
, its the loss of colour due to all types of skin pigment whereas Albinoism is just melanin.
People with Leucism have their natural eye colour so his mother had blue eyes but white skin and hair.
You might have just met loads of people with Leucism?
Hehe, still beautiful though.
