Yes, but not the water itself!. It is more likely you are reacting to the chemicals within the water!. I disagree with the person who stated that "It is impossible for anyone to be allergic to water because we need H2o to survive"!. While the human body does require water to survive, you also need to take into account what goes into the water while its being reprocessed!. Here in NY, I believe that 100 or more odd chemicals were found to exist within our 'treated and cleaned' waste water (some of these products were psychotropics, pain medications, etc) flushed into the system everyday!. Point being that a person who has atopic and systemic allergies can react to any one or more particulate substances within that 'treated' water!. I myself have had occasional dermatologic or atopic reactions to this water though I have no problems ingesting it!. So, in answer to the question: YES, you can be reacting in an allergic manner to water! Please see an allergist to help you with this!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I had an allergy test tell me I was - but my skin was reacting to everything because I was virulently allergic to something we couldn't identify!. The fact that it said I was allergic to water was a prettyy good clue that the test was wrong!. They use water as the 'control' in allergy tests - ie!. the thing you shouldn't have a reaction to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Only if you're dead within a few days there!. Your body naturally has water in it to live, your body needs water to survive, and basically everything has water!. So if you're allergic, you'd be dead!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
water allergy, or "Aquagenous urticaria", is such a rare condition that there are less than thirty patients in the whole world that have been diagnosed with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You're very unlikely to be allergic to distilled water, but you might be allergic to certain tap waters or bottled waters, depending upon what they contain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Most water is not pure, has all sorts of chemicals in it!. So, yes there could be something in the water you are allergic to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No, remember that allergies are based on presequities H2O does not contain, and that the human body is around 80% water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
