Some people hate the cold weather – and some people are actually ALLERGIC to it...
If you break out in cold hives – you’re allergic. It’s a type of Urticaria, and it’s not all that rare. Warm weather is not necessarily any better for someone with a cold allergy. Exposure to cold water, or even just a cold drink or ice cream in the summer could cause a reaction. If you do suspect you are allergic to the cold – never jump right into a cold water pool or lake.
To find out if you’ve got a cold allergy – there is a simple test which involves holding an icecube to your skin and watching for the reaction which is usuallhy hives. You’ll want to have your doctor or allergist perform this test though. Some severe cases can have serious skin reactions or even difficulty breathing.
