hello,
can anyone help me, i discovered that i am allergic to water....
(shower, pool, sea and sweat)
side effects:
24/7 drowsiness, fatigued, itchy skin, eye irritation!
can any one please help?!

How did you discover this?

when i get into water
after 5 minutes or 10 i get itchy skin and other problems.

maybe its not the water itself that you're allergic to, but maybe a chemical in the water??? maybe chlorine?? I dont see how you can be allergic to water when it's necessary for you to drink it to live.......??????

I doubt you are allergic to water, it is a chemically simple compound. As we all know H20 is two atoms of Hydrogen and one Oxygen.(Unless it is vice-versa, but you got my point.) However, I do understand where you are coming from. The FDA estimates that out of every hundred people there is one person sensitive or allergic to sulfites(derivitives of sulfur). That number means there are many of you out there with no clue what your ails are coming from. Now I know I have used this possibility in other posts, but it took me a very long time to piece things together for myself after thinking for a very long time that I was nuts. My new house here has Sulfur water and up until living here had no problems with showering. However, I tested myself by leaving out shampoos, conditioners, products of any kind and air-dryed myself to make sure I was not allergic to detergent or softeners. I have come to realize that the painfully itchy, huge red welts on my face were hives caused by contact with sulfur minerals in my well water. I look like I have Rosacea shortly after getting out of the shower. My face immediately itches and it all goes away after about half the day. Remember this though, any contact with ANYTHING that brings dampness to your skin if this is the problem will REACTIVATE any sulfur residue you still have on your skin and cause irritation again. All I have to do is touch my face or get rained on and it all starts all over again. Try purified distilled water. Let me know if this helps you. :) Compliments of the Blueyd1

Hi zainoo, I'm not very sure what you could have but I do have a few info for you. There's this things called Aquagenic urticaria. It is a reaction to the water. You can do a search on 'Aquagenic urticaria' and I'm sure you would get some answers. Or you might be allergic to the chemicals, like chlorine. Have you gone to see an allergist? Do you develop hives too?
