Woman claims to be allergic to water. A shameless fraud?

Featured Replies

This makes no sense at all!
I would have believed her if she didn't mention that she cannot even drink any liquid containing water (there is a condition on the SKIN where an oily chemical, reacts with water and forms an antigen the person is allergic to. The water is NOT the allergen however, but the transport. It is called Aquagenic Urticaria, but the antigen is NOT water)
The fact that she mentions she cannot drink water, or properly drink anything with water in it, tells me she is trying to tell us she's allergic to water internally.
Aren't your mast cells surrounded by water molecules? This would mean she should be having a CONSTANT allergic reaction.
She looks OK in her picture though.
Thoughts?

Anyone?

My guess would be that she is delusional, rather than dishonest; but it is just a guess.

It's also possible that, rather than being delusional, she is merely wrong, and something else is causing the reaction she attributes to water.
