One of my students is somewhat allergic to her own sweat. She was not allowed to exercise cause she's going to have rashes and some parts of her body are gonna get red. I think its the worst thing to be allergic to. How about you? What do you think is the worst thing that you can be allergic to?

her case is very rare, i think she has am imbalance in her body system that results to this kind of reaction, as for me i only have an allergic reaction to a certain medicine, only one though, anyway for me the worst thing to be allergic to is when a person has an allergic reaction to any kind of fabric, imagine the trouble on what would one use.....

You are right about the imbalance. I actually asked again about her condition a few hours ago and he told me that it has something to do with her blood flow and maybe some components are that present in her blood that makes her skin red when she sweats and what worse, she also have the rash when the weather is very cold.

wow! That would be terrible. It doesn't make sense either. Maybe it's something she's ingesting that is coming out through her sweat. i would sure try to diet excursions to try to see if I could help it. I am only allergic to flowers and perfumes.

I think about it that way too. Maybe it has something to do with her diet that when she sweat her skin is going to react with something released in her sweat and then she gets rashes. If I come to think about it, its a sad situation but she's taking a lot of restrictions now.

That does sound horrible P3Ks626, but another thing that must be awful is an allergy to tap water. I don't know of anyone who is allergic to it, but if you think about how you use tap water to wash, shower, clean your teeth, cook with etc then being allergic to it must be a really difficult thing to have to cope with.

Hello, her case is very unique coz in most cases people are allergic to foods that they eat or plants or some even animals, well in my case im allergic to shrimp and yeah its very common and i hate it coz shrimp is one of my favorite seafood and i have no choice but to avoid it or else i'll get rashes in my face.

I think it is too. Her case is really unique and I dont know why it happens to her. Maybe it also has something to do with her diet that when she sweats, toxins are released there that reacts to her skin and she became allergic to her own swear. I feel bad for her but I think she's a lot better now cause her physician gave her some medicines.

I think everything would be a bad thing to be allergic to, and there are some people who are. I think the worst allergies are to the sun, to every kind of food, and personally I think it would be horrible to be allergic to chocolate. I've always thought being allergic to the sun was really sad because you can't go out in the daytime. You can't even have windows open and letting sunlight in.

You can be allergic to things that you need for health reasons. The world's a big place full of lots of people with overactive immune systems that often attack the wrong things. I do imagine that walking around in the sunlight wearing lots of clothes would be really hot, but the other alternative is to stay indoors all the time, which isn't very fun.

Oh yeah! I had a friend who was allergic to the sun too. At first I didnt believe that he was and he was just faking cause he's a guy and how can someone be allergic to the sun when in fact we need that sun for health reasons. My friend always have to wear clothes with long sleeves and he always bring an umbrella and I think his life is so hot as in hot hot but he has to do it cause if he wont, he would also have rushes all over his body.
