How many years old were you when you found out an allergy to water exists?

It's extremely rare but it's called Aquagenic urticaria and supposedly people get hives and rashes and skin issues when in contact with water for the most part it's skin allergy but some do report throat inflammation and stuff when drinking it but for the most part it's skin allergy, the skin rash and stuff can last 30 minutes up to about 2 hours before it disappears, pretty wild.

Like now? From this question.
We all know that foods/drinks are poison in the US.
we are in Europe throughout the summer. I have no health issues when here.
once I get back to NY. In 2 weeks… things change.!

What will you do to remain healthy when back in the US midnight 😆

[midnightmoon05]

Just get foods from local farmers. Milk, eggs, meat, farmers market for fruits and veggies.
We try to eat more basic.
Get our drinking water from the mountains.
Use less plastic.
Our body has less defense because we are feeding it with trash.

[Asker]

Indeed 🤔

[dustybiker2]

Ummm... how? It's more likely to be what is in the source of water. Something other than pure water. My guess. Detroit gets a bad rap...

[Asker]

From what I read it's normal water lol

[dustybiker2]

Is there normal anything?

[dustybiker2]

I was triggered to chemicals after exposure to really toxic chemicals. It took ten years of consistent detoxing at triggers to get it a bit under control. You can have allergies trigger.

Sunlight is another.

But water is required by the body so it must be a triggered allergy. Which makes me suspect something in the water, which the body then assumes is then in all water, so reacts to water itself. I would guess.

How do they stay hydrated 🤔

[Asker]

They probably still drink water lol

[Vevv123]

I’m guessing they do. They probably just have to live with the constant allergies.
