Doesn’t the human body consist of a significant percentage of water? Is she allergic to herself?

I wondered where the Wicked Witch of the West went.

Unbefreakinglievable...

Yup, this, too. From a couple of years ago...

I have heard of this.

A friend had a niece who was sensitive like that and would clean her child with cooking oil.

I wonder if this led to Social Security disability checks and Medicaid benefits?

[DesertRhino]

Is there ANY drama women cannot dream up? I knew a woman once who claimed she could not touch metal. Another says it’s hard for her to eat because she doesn’t like the texture of food...

This is just “look at me!”.

I thought this was just a wicked witch problem.

W.C. Fields had issues with internal water consumption.

[mjp]

some of the physical causes of hives are:
Heat: Hives can be caused by exposure to heat, such as from a hot bath or shower, or from exercising in hot weather.
Cold: Hives can also be caused by exposure to cold, such as from swimming in cold water or from being in a cold environment.
Pressure: Hives can be caused by pressure on the skin, such as from wearing tight clothing or from lying on a hard surface.
Friction: Hives can also be caused by friction on the skin, such as from rubbing or scratching.
Sun exposure: Hives can be caused by exposure to sunlight, especially in people who are sensitive to sunlight.
Water: Hives can be caused by exposure to water, especially in people who are allergic to water.

I’m also allergic to water but thank goodness not beer nor wine.

[yldstrk]

What utter nonsense.

[marktwain]

Lots of people do not shower every day, especially in Europe...

[Henchster]

"...it itches and burns, and there’s no cure,.."

Yeah, there is:

Does this only affect skin on the outside. What about tissue on the inside. It seems that an incompatibility with water would be an incompatibility with life.

Dear Kimberlee Mills,

Come to Florida. On Alt 19 near Elfers there’s a spring called Wall’s spring.

If you immerse yourself in the water 7 times you will be cured.

I accept no payment.

I have a mild form of this, as does my daughter. It’s not a case of being allergic to water, but to sweat. A hot shower, exercise or sitting in the sun can cause a breakout of terrible hives, mostly on the back of the neck and upper arms. Scratching or even just touching them makes it much worse. Benadryl or other allergy meds can help, but then you feel like a zombie for hours!
