Start of something new...

With this blog I will try and teach you funfacts that you can use when talking to your girlfriend,teacher or maybe dad, so stay tuned, and  learn something new...


The first funfact will be:




"It is possible to be allergic to water."
Though not an allergy in the strictest sense, aquagenic urticaria acts -- in most respects -- like typical allergies in that it involves skin hives, itchiness, pain, and other adverse reactions when the victim comes into contact with a particular substance. Unusually, though, the allergen in this case is ordinary water, even a person's own tears. Aquagenic urticaria is extremely rare (with only about 30 reported cases) and untreatable: sufferers generally just have to dramatically limit their contact with water and drink only beverages that don't cause a reaction.
