The toddler allergic to water: 18-month-old girl breaks out in agonising blisters
The toddler allergic to water: 18-month-old girl breaks out in agonising blisters
By ALEXANDRA THOMPSON HEALTH REPORTER FOR MAILONLINE
SECONDS after she cries, sweats or has a bath Ivy Angerman suffers painful break outs after any water exposure
The 18-month-old is being taught by her mother not to cry when upset
Mother Brittany Angerman, 27, worries Ivy will be bullied due to her disorder
The only truly effective treatment is for sufferers to avoid water entirely
Ivy is thought to be the youngest of just 50 sufferers of the condition worldwide ............
I bet there's a lot more than 50 suffers we don't all run to the doctor.
For one year I too suddenly became allergic to water. I even found that distilled water still brought me out in a rash ruling out chlorine being the culprit. Not as bad as this kiddie but bad enough that bathing became a problem.
It has now disappeared but I switched to quick showers rather than chance it coming back.
