Some People Are Allergic to Water
A rare condition called Aquagenic Urticaria causes painful hives, itching, and skin irritation whenever the skin comes into contact with water—including rain, sweat, tears, or even bathing.
Why it’s surprising: Water is essential for life, yet people with this disorder must carefully manage daily activities to avoid painful reactions. Fewer than a few hundred cases have been documented worldwide.
