Allergic to Water: Aquagenic Urticaria
Apparently one out of 23 million are allergic to water, even their own sweat and tears. It's an extremely rare skin condition that the girl below, Ashleigh Morris, has had for five years. After having been prescribed a heavy dose of penicillin for tonsillitis, she noticed that after showers she had big red lumps that itched horribly that go away after two hours.
