Alexandra Allen, 17, from Utah, USA has a strange allergy to water. Just taking a bath for too long or sweating too much made her tingle with red spots on her body.

The water allergy is bizarre

This shenanigans only happen to 35 people worldwide. Whenever he wanted to take a bath, Allen had to act quickly, the water was too cold and the shower time too long stimulated the rashes, which could lead to death.

Allen's body first appears strange symptoms after a vacation to Flaming Gorge with lots of water exposure activities. She was taken to hospital in a rash, blistering, headache, and difficulty breathing.

At the age of 15 when he happened to study a medical website discussing water allergies , Allen brought those findings to his GP and he concluded that it was the disease she was suffering from. .

Since then, Allen tried his best to limit water exposure

People with this weird water allergy are often due to over-sensitive sensitivity to water . After directly touching the water or even tears, sweat and blood, they will endure redness and limb rash all over the contact surface. This rash will last from 10 minutes to an hour and a half.

There is currently no treatment that has been proven effective, but the medical community recommends that patients should avoid maximum exposure to water. If you want to take a bath, you only need to take a quick bath, try to keep your body dry at all times and absolutely avoid rain. They can also limit unpleasant itching by taking histamine .

Because it was extremely dangerous to sweat, Alexandra had to deal with exercising in a cold room so her body could not excrete too much oil and sweat. Less sweating, she also will not have to bathe regularly.

'It is really painful, imagine your skin being scrubbed with sandpaper until there is only one thin layer of skin left and then it is rash, itchy, but you can't scratch because If you need to touch them, they will burst. '

This allergy can lead to anaphylactic deaths and will often get worse when the patient gets older.

But Alexandra is still quite optimistic: 'I think I am more fortunate than many people with terminally difficult diseases to save, at least these symptoms can tolerate and watch out for the risk of death.'
