Water, which we consider life, can also become poison for someone. A woman from England has such a rare disease in which rashes (rashes) start to fall on her body as soon as the water is touched.

Think, from bathing to sweating, every time he has to go through a painful experience. Even his own tears cause irritation on his skin. This disease is so unique that people are surprised to hear. Let us know what is this disease.

First face at the age of 14

Arin heard her tragedy on the British TV show ‘This Morning’. She told that when she was 14 years old, she faced this strange problem for the first time. When she came out of the water after a swimming class in school, she had rash on her chest. There was so much jealousy in them that she got nervous. Initially, he felt that this was the effect of chlorine. But gradually the truth came out. The same burning sensation after bathing every time. Rash on the skin even after sweating. Even rain drops used to burn Arin’s skin. They understood that this is not the effect of chlorine or any other chemical, but the water itself has become their biggest enemy.

Tears also cause reaction

With the passage of time, their problems became even more scary. Arin says that she also reacts with her own tears. Tears flowing on the face cause prick and irritation on their skin. Everyone was stunned to hear that a person can be injured by the flow of his own feelings. For the last 10 years, I have been struggling very badly.

Treatment was not found for nine years

The more rare the disease was, the more difficult it was to find a cure. Arine made rounds of doctors for nine consecutive years. Every time he was postponed by saying that it is a normal rash. If someone advised to take antihistamines, someone ended the matter by telling the skin problem. But the pain was increasing every day. Eventually, a new doctor listened to his point seriously. He studied the symptoms and photographs of Arine deeply. After investigation, it was revealed that Arine is a victim of a very rare disease called Aquaagenic Urticaria.

What is Aquajenic Articaria?

According to webmd, the disease occurs when the skin comes in contact with water and rash occurs on it. Usually these rases appear 20-30 minutes after touching the water and disappear in 30-60 minutes. But not only rash, in many cases it can be with headache, shortness of breath, wheezing and even unconsciousness. Scientists have not yet understood the exact reason for this. Some believe that any unknown ingredient that dissolves in water produces allergies when exposed to the skin.

Difficulties for investigation and treatment

Doctors perform ‘Water Challenge Test’ to detect this disease. In this, a wet cloth is kept on the upper part of the patient for about 20 minutes and then the skin reaction is seen. But the biggest problem is that at present there is no permanent treatment for this disease.
