H2O Allergy

Apparently, there is a teenager in Australia who is allergic... to water. (And no, not our forum regular.)

I just wonder... how is this physically possible?

But then I heard that it's just their skin that is allergic; They break out in a rash from their own sweat, and from showers.

Then the rash lasts three or four hours.

That must fricken suck. :l

All I'm allergic to is pencillin, and pollen. I feel so lucky.

Fortunately for me, I have no known allergies.

It boggles me however how one can be allergic to water. I understand it's just the skin that gets irritated, but it just seems sooo weird.

That's bizarre. Does it matter if the water's been diluted first?

I'm allergic to stupid people. I get outbreaks of rage when I'm near them.

Well she's in luck, it hasn't rained here for quite a few months.

I've heard of her. Water allergies are extremely rare, but possible.

I've heard of an allergy to sunlight too, but I'm not sure if it's legit or not.

'Tis. It's some skin condition, but I forgot the name.

I'm not sure. It didn't say, but I would think not because it's still water.

I've heard of that. They had characters with that in the movie, The Others.

I'm allergic to blue. After I got a small infection, the blue dyes in the antibiotics gave me a really nasty skin rash. WTF.
