This sounds like another made-up “disease” like ADHD and ADD.
It is related to autoimmune disease,and is not funny and nothing to joke about.
It is very real and can range from mild to life threatening.
There was a time when I thought ADHD was a ‘made up disease’, also.

Except that hives and the allergic response can be objectively measured.
I have idiopathic dermagraphism. Until the source of the allergy was found I was a mess! Thankfully, the allergist figured out that I was allergic to mold and just about every plant and tree east of the Mississippi.
Hepa-filters in the house have “cured” it, and I live a lot more comfortably.
What an ignorant thing to say after reading that her airway swells in the presence of hives. Yeah, that’s made up.
nah, I'm allergic to the cold too. I've mostly grown out of it, but if I got nipped a bit (think feet, hands, and esp around my mouth) I break out in eczema. Only, really, really bothers me when I get it in, ahem, "nether regions", like where clothes rub.
I grew up in Maine and survived, so it was hardly debilitating. More of a nuisance. I can still hear my mother nagging me to "wear a hat. and mittens. etc etc etc."
But, "Allergic to Cold" does exist.

Both are real conditions. I had a severe case when I was a child. The nuns beat me until I was able to cotrol the symptoms. Now they use medicine.
My nephew has this. He got outside once when he was 3 to play in the snow and was completely unconsious by the time his parents got him to the hospital.
