I one time saw on tv that this one woman was allergic to water. Wow that must be horrible to be allergic to water because you know there is like water all around us. The thing that I am allergic to is garlic that smells really bad and will not ever go near that stuff. Is their anything that you are allergic too???

*If you don't have coryza and never ending sneezes after you smelled the garlic, then it's not allergy. If you don't get those hives after you made contact with a garlic, then it's not allergy* I am allergic to lots of foods and that's what makes it bad since most of my allergens are my favorite foods: chocolate, peanuts, chicken, egg, eggplant, beans, seafoods. I am also allergic to dust, soy sauce and ibuprofen.

That is a lot of allergies that you have their it's not very fair to you that you can't eat those or you will get hives.

I also read some articles regarding what you shared about some people who are allergic on water. I am allergic to the strong scents like perfumes and colognes. The only thing I can do is to take anti-allergic tablet to minimize my sneezing and coughing reflex. I guess many of us do have certain allergic reactions that trigger their body senses or may affect their lifestyle at all. Good day

Also it is really sad for those who are allergic to water. Perfumes and collones well I never really liked those because people tend to go over board on those and the scent is really strong at times which I do no like.

I do not have any history of allergy. but since I moved house in the cold mountain regions, I became allergic to the cold. if the night, my body is swollen and itchy. after I see a doctor, the doctor said maybe I'm adjusting to the cold air. This usually does not last long. I am glad to hear it. so I do not have to worry about allergies when the cold air.

Yes you might just be adjusting to the cold air since you are not used to it. Still that sounds horrible to always be swollen and itchy at night.

I have sensativities to many things like dust and perfumes, but would not say I am actually allergic to them. I am highly allergic to wasps.

I'm horribly allergic to seafood/fish. I react badly, my face swells up and I get an itchy red rash. I normally have antihistamine to hand to combat the symptoms

I'm only allergic to one thing. I'm allergic to cats, which is somewhat annoying. I never really planned on having one as a pet, but it's just a few people that I know have cats. So, whenever I'm there, I get terrible allergies. I can be there for only 5 minutes and I'll start having a reaction. I could be in a store with someone who has a cat, and I'll have an allergic reaction. And that's what I really dislike about being allergic to cats.

The only thing I am allergic to is pure strawberry juice, which makes me come out in a rash I once saw on television a girl who was allergic to UV rays, so going out in sunlight was out of the question

Hello Anime! Must be hell to be allergic to water. If a mosquito bites me, I get this huge, red lump and I was told its an allergic reaction. I tend to run a lot when I go out in the summer....running away from those beastly blood suckers!! I mostly have intolerance to certain foods and it comes and goes. This is the list of most of the foods I have to avoid at times: Carrots, dairy products, anything raw. I'll get terrible headaches when I eat certain vegetables or use certain creams. Makes you wonder what they put in the food or creams now!!

Yes it would be awful to be allergic to water. I watched a movie once about these 3 children who could not be in the light. That is so sad, isn't it. As far as I know, I'm not allergic to anything. Praise God for that. That's wild being allergic to garlic. I use garlic on my dogs and in their food lightly for fleas and flies and such.

The closest that I am to being allergic to anything is that I have severe seasonal sinus issues. However, my husband is allergic to penicillin which makes it somewhat difficult when he has an infection because he has to have more expensive antibiotics and when our children are sick because they are always prescribed with amoxicillin and since it is related to PCN, he can't give it to the children, I have to dose them all the time.
