Even eating ice cream is off-limits for 9-year-old Priscilla
Nine-year-old Priscilla Pomerantz can't play in the snow, eat ice cream or walk her dog during the winter. She can't get cold at all, because she suffers from an allergy called cold urticaria. For Priscilla, air temperatures below 70 degrees -- or even eating chilly foods -- trigger an allergic reaction of hives, swelling and difficulty breathing. Left untreated, the cold could literally kill her.

Interesting to be allergic to something that doesn’t exist.

This sounds like another made-up “disease” like ADHD and ADD.

A former pastor of ours has the opposite problem - sunlight makes him swell up like a balloon.

Interesting gambit for the parents to attempt to use the ADA to get home heating bills paid for....

Nope. Cold does not exist. It cannot be measured or observed.
What people call cold is actually a lack of heat.

Cold induced urticaria is a (female dog). Mine is not as severe as hers, I can eat cold food and drink. It is prolonged exposure to cold that triggers the reaction.
To: ShadowAce
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that she is physiologically addicted to heat.

Technically.
Cold is the absence of heat, just like dark is the absence of light; they describe states lacking (that is, the non-existence) of something.

That is a really ignorant thing to say, I have had bouts with it, and even freaked out the Dermatologist when I had a bad attack right in the freezing cold office.
It is related to autoimmune disease,and is not funny and nothing to joke about.

A friend of my daughter is having horrible allergy problems. She is slowly becoming allergic to almost all foods. It started off with an allergy to seafood. She is down to only being able to eat a few things and it is affecting her lungs now. She can barely walk across a room and she’s only 24. This all started after she became an adult.
