    Oh, I’ve got fucking Cold urticaria. My body takes it personally if I go swimming in cold water, or don’t wear a heavy sweatshirt on a chilly day, or God forbid if my sheets are just a little bit cold and I’m not wearing wrist-to-ankle pajamas. It fucking sucks, and it didn’t even develop until I was in my thirties, so it’s not as if this something that I learned to live with so early that it’s second nature to me now. FUCK my fucking cold-activated histamines.

    Never caught it, or poison ivy for that matter. I think I’m one of the lucky ones that are immune.

      I think I am too. Though, I’ve never gone out of my way to test it and the allergy can easily change with age.
