Allergy to water

Aquagenic known as hives, allergy to water only affects one person in 23 million. Most allergic to water are confined to their homes and can not get in contact with the liquid, because they are sensitive to the ions found in non-distilled water, and have to be careful even to drink water.
The student Ashleigh Morris is one of the few people who have the strange condition. Even sweating causes extreme pain to the girl of 19 years. When Morris comes into contact with water, your skin gets red rashes, which take two hours to pass. The more contact she has with water is in the shower, and still, in small "sessions" than a minute to wash, as this is an extremely painful for the young.

There is only one of thirty cases described in the literature, and it is believed that due to the presence in the skin of an antigen (a substance that activates the immune system) water soluble. Upon contact with water, dissolves the antigen crosses the skin and makes the defense cells to release histamine, which causes the appearance of swelling, burning, and other allergic symptoms.
