WORST ALLERGY EVER
This 9 year old girl has urticaria...which is an extremely rare condition that causes people to break out in hives and even stop breathing when they are exposed to cold of ANY kind. Meaning, cold water, cold air conditioning, cold weather, COLD DRINKS, ice cream, like the list just keeps going on. She has to take baths in the hottest water that she can stand which for her means around 86 degrees. Her condition is so bizarre she can have a reaction if she's in a climate thats 72 degrees which really isn't even cold. She legit can't even eat ice cream or enjoy a nice cold beverage on a hot summer day! When Matt Lauer asked her family why they didn't move to Florida or Arizona where it's warm instead of staying in New York her father answered,"It's actually almost worse, because everything in Florida is air conditioned." Being allergic to cold is literally the craziest ailment I've ever heard of, but the good news for this little girl is that doctors say theres an 11 percent that she will eventually outgrow her condition.
