ok
thanks for the video!
Your average history man (so am I one XD)
What is the cute wiggly bug thing on the wall (or in a tank?) behind you? it looks like a cross between a water-bear & baby centipede
I had a friend with it, and nobody believed him cause we lived in Mexico (which is warm most time of the year). I did believed him once we went to the north together and he has massive hives, so I had no choice, I also looked after him for the rest of the holliday and we went back school as best friends. He used to tease me about my cat allergy and I used to teased him saying he was allergic to fridges hahaha
im allergic to my cat whenever i go near her my nose itches and start sneezing uncontrollably.
Allergic to fridge😂😂😂😂😂
No pues nunca he conocido a nadie con ésto por acá

Yeah, I have the same problem, people don't believe and in some cases are saying “I also don't like the cold”, it's great to have Brew talk about it. After more than 10 years, I see the awareness growing.
I wonder if it would help if you say "I get welts from the cold" or something specific. I guess if you said you are allergic to the cold since it's not a well-known condition they might assume you are being sarcastic or dramatic if they don't know you well. Honestly I never heard of this before and I watch a lot of "random info" videos like this.
I'm not allergic or anyy, but being in the cold gives me allergies (like the ones when the seasons change).

Yo I had this condition for about a year or two, after taking a hot shower I would get splotchy hives all over my chest and stomach, but they rarely itched. I talked to my doctor and she confirmed that I had “Hot & Cold-induced Urticaria”. She just told me to be mindful of when they start appearing, nowadays though it almost never happens anymore.
What’s weird is I’ve always lived in Florida, and never traveled to colder states.
@@matrixster6238 only in Florida on god
Hot & Cold?! As someone who equally loves hot showers and cold showers, that's bloody unfortunate.
I have the same thing. Have to take an antihistamine 😢
@@matrixster6238 of course you’re from Florida
I'm already sensitive to heat and prone to overheating, and I genuinely enjoy cold weather and cooler temperatures in general. This would be a nightmare for me.
Same. I have heart issues so intense heat makes me cramp and pass out. Intense heat being 90s. Not allowed in a hot tub or jacuzzi because it makes everything dilate and my heart can't pump properly. Also before the heart thing I was prone to my skin literally bubbling and turning back and crusty from too much sun in warm weather and have scars from being out in the sun a couple hours.
Same.
I feel ya there! Ive always ran warm, the cold dosent really bother me unless extreme but i overheat super fast. Makes me pretty much instantly nauseous and sweating like a bad anxiety attack and it just gets worse from there...
Same, I get uncomfortable around the mid 70°s (F) but I start feeling sick around 80. I like the cold because if I'm ever too cold I could just grab a coat, not so much for the heat
me too
One of my daughter's has stage two of this condition. It was bad enough that we had to move to a warmer climate. We moved from snow storm weather to hot desert🏜. She prefers the cold but has better health in the heat so that's where she'll stay. Great Video
Man, that sucks, I hope she’s doing well and I hope she gets better :)
@@childeofepickness Thank you😊. She's much better in the desert where we live now. When it does get cooler outside like in the 50s she'll develop a little rash but nothing like before. She also takes medication that didn't help at all when we lived in freezing weather but works better now. We used to battle lung issues and rashes for months on end so it's definitely worth living elsewhere with this condition
That sucks, but I'm glad you were able to move to a safer place for her. Really can't imagine having to deal with this condition while living somewhere with really cold weather.
@@kiminimuchu__ Definitely. It's scary
I feel bad for your daughter of a stage one here but even with that I would still really like to move out of upstate New York and down to Arizona.
I once had a coworker at a restaurant, who couldn't handle very cold things, like ice or frozen deserts. She would break out with uticaria on her hands and arms, and it could even spread further on bad days. She was just the sweetest person, so none of us minded going a little out of our way so she didn't have to handle the very cold things that were common in our work place.
I’m glad her boss was so understanding so she didn’t need to make an ADA complaint.
Thats nice of yous
Amazing story. Med student here, just wanted to clear up something for people who are interested: I do believe that the symptoms of urticaria are mediated by histamine (a mediator of inflammation released from mast cells), not antihistamines as stated in the video 4:20. Great video otherwise !
Edit : 10:20 The drug name is pronounced correctly, yet shown incorrectly. The drug is called Omalizumab, which inhibits immunoglobulin E-mediated reactions such as asthma and allergies.
Ty
I was fully allergic to the cold for about 8 years. It was a nightmare.
one time i got in poision ivy and i scratched it so long it fell off no blood just the rash falling off i still cant beleive it dident scar
@@yyhhttcccyyhhttccc6694wow, I thought Poison Ivy was supposed to be contagious or something? Was your skin back to normal completely after that?
@@user-uu5cc7rm5g I think about after a week it was completely normal again but I'm not sure
I still have a lot of reactions to the cold, get two Omalizumab injections every 4 weeks (10+ years), and a lot of prescription medication. My doctor describes it as a lifelong allergy. In my case, they were going to do two tests, water baskets (one warm and one cold) and, after 15 minutes, the ice cube test. After a few minutes of exposure to the cold water, I already got a very extreme reaction and didn't need the second test.
Serious questions- how do you go grocery shopping? Do you have to stay away from the meat/dairy areas since they’re always freezing? Can you not vacation to cold places at all? Do you have to carry blankets around with you just in case? I’m really curious how much this condition has impacted your life because it’s something I can’t even imagine having.
And what about work? For example, it’s always freezing in the back area of my workplace 🥶
I just got to the part in the video where the girl can’t have slushies or other cold drinks. That’s terrible! Is it the same for you?? Can you even enjoy ice cream?
@@WolfDreamer101 you do have a lot of questions, most of the time I order my groceries, so I don't need to go to the supermarket. I travel by car and can most of the time park close by, or I work from home. Drinking or eating cold items isn't recommended, but I still do it, however, it becomes more problematic every single time and I need additional medication if I do that and never do this where nobody that is familiar with it isn't around. Travelling, showering etc. I do this by keeping the limitations and warnings in mind and won't do anything that can cause problems. I even have my EpiPens close by and have an emergency number on my person at all times.
I have had CU since I was about 11-12 years old and now going to be 20. I lived in Minnesota all my life one of the coldest states in the United States of America. It’s crazy!
It's the same for me and I live in Iceland :')
I rarely get hives as I keep mostly covered anyway due to being unable to regulate my own body tempature and having neurological issues that cause severe pain with cold exposure. Wool clothes are a life saver. I have type 3 so my asthma and chronic synus infection get incredibly bad in the cold and I get itchy all over, rashes and sometimes but very rarely hives but thankfully eating and drinking cold things is fine for me. I still have to use strong antihistamines all year round (because I'm also allergic to pollen) and strong asthma medication and syeroid nasal sprey.
I live in Germany and have CU for many years now. We have cold winters, and even autumn is a problem. Even cold wind breezes in summer are a problem on some body parts. Luckily the rashes start only after a few minutes and the hives just when I stay out unprotected for longer periods.
Once had a talk with somebody and stood out on a mild winter day with a thick jacket - but far too thin throusers - for too long. I looked like I took a bath in nettles!
I used to work in a cooler for hours on end, I would get itchy all over every time I was in and out of it. Got worse eventually causing welts, I never thought there was a condition related to it...good to know. It doesn't happen anymore.
Coola coola frieza no buraza
Try putting on lotion and walk in a freezer again
I actually have the opposite, heat induced urticaria. It got better after a few years, but it can be scary when it first develops. For anyone else out there with similar conditions, hang in there!
This video is actually how I finally realized what my problem was. I break out in hives when I sweat or take a hot shower and I never knew why. Thankfully it’s mild but man it’s super annoying
@@VerdarJei1396 it can be annoying. What finally helped me is embracing it, sweating on purpose and apparently it gets the histamine out and helps symptoms. Give it a try if you want
@@asianxinvasion1724 Agree, been having this for 10 years, and got diagnosed for heat induced last year. Took some antihistamines and got really bad mood swings. Now it's only going to the gym that makes it better, which is quite counterintuitive ;D
@@VerdarJei1396 Try Quercetin. It's a better mast cell inhibitor than Nasalcrom.

OMG!! I've been watching Brew for years and never expected him to cover something I actually have! I'm a type one is he described, but not only do I have Cold urticaria, but I was the 6th person in the US to ever be diagnosed with it. Back when I was a young kid living in OHIO my severe and difficult control asthma led me to be part of multiple medical studies, and at one of these facilities where they were testing do medications the doctor there had heard of My strange condition when we came in from the cold and I was covered in welts. He had said that it was a relatively new thing that they had discovered and he could perform the ice cube test on me which came up positive making me the sixth person in the US come up positive...

As a swim coach, I've had 1 swimmer in the last 11 years with CU. I was baffled at first and thought he was trying to get out of practice. "I'm allergic to cold water"
Then I looked up the condition, talked to his parents, and was blown away! Needless to say I apologized to him for not understanding
Good job for apologizing, most teachers or coaches wouldn't.
My cousin-in-law has this! She lives in PA and bundles up like a mummy in the winter.
im in PA too and have chronic urticaria and have noticed that on cold rainy days its worse! bed days i like to call them.
Hope she’s doing okay! It’s brutally cold here rn
I have a heat allergy. My doctor mentioned that I probably was allergic to cold too. My roommate laughed and said, you mean like this and put a ice cube on her hand and the hives immediately stared. She needed a warm place to live because snow would make her break out in hives.
so is liquid nitrogen like a death brick in a obby for u guys
I have this since I was 5, now I am 30. The first time it happened I had just arrived to the beach, went into the water as usual and inmediatly started feeling bad, went to lay and my uncle and aunt realized something was wrong. I was having a full on anafilactic shock, I passed out, and was in and out of conciousnes. Woke up in the emergency room with a IV. After being diagnosed I had to take medication that sadly didn't do much and my doctor told me to stop as it wasn't being helpful. I started to know my body and identify exactly when my skin was reacting and would try to get warm inmediatly. Some time later I was told that after puberty I could get better which happily did. Now a days I can enjoy many more activities, but always being aware of temperatures. I dont know if it is related to this but I feel cold really easily, which helps avoid the reaction, as i always have something to cover myself and be warm.
I have hot induced urticaria, luckily I just get a few spots. Crazy how the body can be allergic to something as simple as hot water
My doctor thought I was allergic to hot water at first because I got these blisters between my fingers whenever I did the washing up, so I decided to test it out, I was fine with the water it was when I added the dish soap. Still no one believes me when I say I'm actually allergic to washing up.

I had a friend in elementary school that had this. Her case wasn't too serious, but I remember one time we had computer class and she got covered in those red hives, caused by the air conditioning being way too cold in that room. The teacher rushed her out of the room and took her to the nurse to get checked, but thankfully it wasn't too serious and she got better after a little while. After that the school started turning off the air conditioning when our class used the computer room.
bad
My wife’s friend had such a similar near-death experience literally last week. Had a seizure while turning the shower on, and he fell in under the water with it turned to full hot. They have an electric water heater so it was endless, and he suffered first, second, and third degree burns all over his arms, torso, and head. Two hours before anyone found him. The REALLY Ironic part is; my wife has cold urdecaria.
Why on earth was their hot water heater cranked up to the maximum?
the water heater should probobly not be turned past the pain threshhold
2 hours? how was he still alive?

I had a weird bout of CU around age 20 following mononucleosis and EBV infection. It lasted about a year and only seemed to affect my arms and hands. I had no problems eating cold things but one of the common things that triggered a rash was if I put ice cream in a bowl and held the bowl with my bare hands or against the skin on my arm for more than a minute or two. I'm just grateful it eventually went away.
I know the feeling with holding the bowl! Have the same - even a joghurt jar does it for me.
I have heat induced urticaria, type 2. It sucks but it used to be worse, and as long as i can breathe and not cry from the itchy pain like before then I am more than grateful.
Poor girl, I can't imagine, glad she was able to get some help.
Brew is amazing just because he somehow pronounced all the medicines.
He could have just researched the pronunciations beforehand.
@@matrixster6238 that wouldn't stop me from mispronouncing them.
@@matrixster6238 still takes getting used to the pronunciation to not slip up, just try learning how to pronounce something like pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, I did it, but I think it took me at least a few days, if not weeks, now I can properly pronounce it without slipping up and I can write it down without having to look it up again, so learning the pronunciation of all those medicines, it probably sticks with you for quite a while.

Imagine heading across the world to go to college, only to find out that you can’t live in the climate without extreme discomfort. What would you even do?
Go to college somewhere else.
@@DaleDix Considering college is extremely expensive in several countries, they may have gone into debt. If they have online classes that are pertinent to their degree, they could probably take those remotely, but they'd also have to pay out-of-state tuition, which is more expensive. It's a lose-lose situation overall, especially if they picked that college specifically for their courses and degree plans.

@LiterallyLaen they should have thought of that. If you're so rich you can go overseas for College you can sort something out.
Several African students died in Russia because they couldn't stand the cold weather during winter, and were not clothed well enough.
Wow, I've been watching your videos for nearly two years I guess, regularly adding new points to my phobias list, and finally you make a video about the condition I also share. That's fun. What's not so fun, it's when the skin on your hands pops up in bloody creases after you'd walked around in winter without wearing gloves. Been there. However, the severity of the symptoms fluctuate from positively disturbing to mildly irritating. Though, I didn't know that you can mitigate these troubles with anti-allergic stuff. I mostly used some hand cream before. Thanks for enlightening me.

I got diagnosed with chronic spontaneous urticaria and angioedema in my teens, the reactions seem to be completely random though. I've been on medication for it 10 years now, Drs now think it's a Mast Cell activation disorder. Fexofenadine, montelukast and other anti-histamine/histamine blockers have been my saving grace! At one point I was having reactions most days and the hives and swelling wouldn't go down, I haven't had a urticaria episode for a long time now, hopefully stays that way!
Oh, hey! Another person with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (or one of its adjacent disorders). Antihistamines and immunosuppressants have been my saving grace, too. Gotta love Montelukast.
Mine is super severe, so I’m on five antihistamines, an immunosuppressant, 2 inhalers, AND carry an emergency epipen. It’s chaos. I literally broke out in hives yesterday because I was in the direct Texas summer sun while walking inside from my car.
OMG I HAD THIS ONCE!!! I live in OH and I spent a couple weeks in St. Thomas. Once I got back home this happened. I had random hives everywhere. Funny thing is, it wasn't even that cold here when I got back. Like 50's.
I went to the urgent care and the "doctor" googled on his phone and then told me that I had Lyme Disease!!!! I called my regular doctor and he was floored. He explained what it was and said it should resolve itself in a few days and prescribed antihistamines. I was good in by the end of the week.
Fast forward a couple years and I discover I have Dermatographia. It is most likely why I experienced the cold hives years prior.
My mom has CU type 3 and it's terrifying to witness. Like she has epi pens and everything for it, it's scary to witness too.
@BlackLivesMatter same me and my sister do that with dairy 😅 we’re both allergic to the point that it makes us sick but like ice cream is worth it sometimes
@BlackLivesMatter I see what you mean a little dairy is worth the stomach it sometimes 😂
4:23 I thought that it was histamines that triggered inflamation. anti-histamines are used to treat allergies (an immune responce ). so it would be weird is it caused it
You're right, they messed this one up
Oh? I think I had a mild case of this as a child? I would get red splotches on my body after stepping out of a shower or bathtub and my mum suspected I was allergic to soap but even soap-free stuff wouldn't really help. Never went to a doctor and now as an adult I don't get these rashes anymore
poggers
Kids at school: "Woah Stacey! Why do you have an epi pen? Are you allergic to peanuts?"
Stacey: "no, I'm allergic to the wind. Well, to the cold actually. I can barely drink cold water without dying"
These people have a rare form of autoimmune disorder that is very difficult for GP or pediatrician to diagnose due to the rarity of these diseases in the general population. Only seems like it is possible to test for after a long time suffering from this.
This actually was insanely eye opening because when I was 17 I moved to a place that had much colder temperatures than I originally lived. I had a lot of very sudden explosions of rashes and welts and I would itch so badly and all over and it was almost always after a shower or from swimming. Given I had other allergies and asthma already my mom simply treated it like normal with my as needed diphenhydramine and we did visit the doctor. The doctor couldn't figure out what it was beyond my usual allergies but did prescribe us an epi-pen just in case. I did end up needing to use it but after about a year of treatment with medications and I guess just getting used to the colder climate it completely went away. I don't have any symptoms now but I've definitely been in this position before.
The worst moment of it was when I went to Seaworld that year with the family and you'd think a hot place would be fine but it got real cold towards the end of the night and I'd been soaked from one of the shows and I ended up absolutely covered head to toe in half dollar sized welts. It was awful. I also had a lot of issues with ice cream and such during this time, feeling really uncomfortable whenever I would eat it.
Wow. 😳 Would it help to take a hot shower, or would the quick change in temperature make it worse?
@@witchhazel4135 Honestly I did shower a couple of times hoping that if it was a skin irritant it would help get whatever it was off. I don't remember it ever making it worse which is why we thought it was something like that.
I had this several years ago. Got hives after being outside in the cold (but it was only late fall so not terribly cold). It happened a few times and antihistamines helped. I was curious and did some looking up of my symptoms. It mentioned the ice cube test. I did it only myself and it was positive. Went to the doctor and told her and she said the ice cube test is diagnostic. Since it wasn’t severe I was instructed to take antihistamines. I worried it would get worse in winter as we live in a very cold climate. But the dryness seems to keep it at bay. In thr shoulder seasons, if it is damp and chilly out I will sometimes get a little itchy but no more hives. It has pretty much gone away. Haven’t done the ice cube test recently to see- might try it
I’m soooo glad the 12 year old girl was able to have a good ending and can live a more normal life.
rip to the pepole who died to chairs
I used to have this in my late teens, and through my 20s. I am 33 now, and haven't had a break out for about 3 or 4 years. But it always occurred in the winter, when I would go from an area of cold to warm. I would get rashes and it would feel like my skin was burning off. I do not know why, as I havent have any life changing events or changes in life style, but Ive no issues with it for a while now.
If you’re in a country that the lowest temperature is 70. And then they move to a place that can get below zero. Their body is going to be or feel like it’s colder than it is. Older people can get cold in warm weather for the rest of people. My aunt, who was in her 70s asked. If we could turn the heat on when it was 80 degrees.
what does that have to do with CU diagnoses?
@@gaba_goblin I think it means that people with CU could experience a reaction in weather that might be considered warm to locals/natives but still colder than what that person is used to.
My grandmother before she died was in a nursing home and she’d have the heat as high as it would go-90°-and she’d _still_ complain about being cold.
Speak Celsius ffs
@@simplicitylostpoor granny :’(
Bruh even the temperature is out to get me?
Can I never escape these things???
I have this condition! Thanks for including people like me in your videos. I remember high school days were really tough in certain classrooms that were kept super cold, to the point that I'd feel sick and had trouble concentrating. And once I semi fainted from being out in the cold too long, my dad had to carry me inside. But it's good to know there's treatment for it, I wasn't aware of that.
I had an episode of this for like a week. It was mild, usually occurred after showers or breaking down the ice bar at work. BUT there is also a chance it was something in the water? We never figured it out, but it was annoying. It only lasted that week though, so I think the new medicine I was taking had something to do with that.
I have a cousin who has cold-induced urticaria, and she was born in Canada. Thankfully, she hasn't had any extreme reactions like these poor people in this video. She works from home at times (especially if it's chilly), and if she goes out in the cold, she always bundled up.
I have this!! Mine is caused by a rare autoimmune condition called hypocomplimentic urticarial vasculitis syndrome. When I’m cold, I hive, my blood vessels open, and I bleed into my skin causing what looks like bad bruising everywhere. It also comes with dermatagraphia, and a whole slew of other not so fun things lol
*_I heard there is a rare chance that blacking out (or whiting out for some) could happen even if you shower. Basically waking up or moving at the wrong time and the wrong place will lead to weaker sensors... I can't pinpoint exactly what this is called, but I just heard about it._*
*_So it seems best to let the body start up and adapt first before going head-first into the shower. One tip is that you can start with the limbs to adjust before the body itself. Then you can go rinse with your head._*
*_Unless you are of an accustomed climate, varying on your location and genes, best try to take everything slow._*
_osjsialdhaldndh_
super excited about every new video from you guys, i’ve seen every upload and have started rewatching them over again!
I have the opposite condition. I grew up in a very cold climate and moved somewhere very hot, now I get annoying but harmless hives whenever I sweat or go outside. I joke that I am allergic to heat/sweating/the sun lol.
I love that they give a lil summary then they do the intro and then they get into it. ❤😂
I suffer from this, after treatments for years i can now control it, my doctor said my condition was more psycological than physical, i still have to wear gloves and sweaters with just a little cold temperatures, the worst feeling it is when i have cold....
It sucks.
Sorry for my english
My best friend has this condition. At first it seemed unbelievable to me, but then over time I've seen them get red blotches and hives from any kinda exposure to cold. I don't think they're taking any medication for it, but it was diagnosed after a near death experience with it in childhood, and now as an adult they manage the allergy by avoiding exposure to cold water, and dressing properly during the winter. They also have floor heating in the shower. So I'd recommend floor heating to the 34 year old guy in the video if he wants to enjoy hot showers again.
I have certain mild-to-moderate rash reactions from what could be called "contact urticaria". Sometimes I'm mystified for the reasons behind it, but other times it is fairly clear I'm intolerant of adhesives in bandaids/medical tapes, stretchy bands on at least one type of sock, or, apparently, certain metals in neck chains. Plain old stress or reactions to the effects of flu shots/COVID shots give me straight-up, no-holds-barred hives. (The shots also make me VERY sick from side effects, but that's a whole other plate to get into.)
@@samarnadra I do know certain metals will cause it. My last set of socks drove me crazy around the bands and I had to ditch them. I am in contact with my doctor about the vaccines. There is a few other things. I have no egg allergy. But as I said...I've been in contact with my doctor about most of this stuff. Thanks!
Been dealing with this condition for about a year now, thankfully it’s quite mild and allergy pills keep it in check most days
the same thing happened to my classmate, when they went to take a shwoer they immedetly came out with hives screaming in tears.
I’ve had this for years.😢
I have a cold sensitivity. It’s basically like IBS. When I was a kid I remember having my first snow cone. That was awful, but I thought it was something in the snow cone. Growing up I would regularly have terrible stomachaches, but I still never connected it to cold. Then in college I had a froyo and was in so much pain. After that I had to avoid being cold/eating cold things. I literally could only drink hot water. For years I would have to rush home if I was out and had an episode. It’s gotten much much better and I can even have ice cream most days, but I still have to be careful. After having my kid it is confirmed that the stomachaches were basically contractions. I’m going to try and see an acupuncturist. The best a gastroenterologist did was prescribe anti cramping meds to take as needed.
I experience this every once in a while when it's hot out, I get red itchy flare ups on my right elbow and forearm area, my thumb, and in between my chest and neck. It happens both when it goes from warmer to colder, and when it's quite hot and humid outside. I moved from Michigan to Florida, and I grew up in Ohio and Indiana, I also lived in North Carolina, but never had this issue there. Just here in Florida. It at least never gets to the point where I feel like I can't breathe or anything like that, fortunately, so it's pretty mild compared to these extreme cases.
That truly sucks to not be able to not drink an iced drink. Or Ice water.
amazing uploads, brew!
I swear brew could convince me I’m breathing the wrong way
I definitely had this condition as a small child. Even now I find it a bit hard to breathe when the air is really cold.
I love hot showers, so the idea of this happening completely out of the blue is quite scary to say the least. Glad the dude survived though, as I’m still saddened by some of the other topics you discussed where the person unfortunately didn’t make it. 😔
I have a friend who’s younger brother is allergic to the cold. It’s extremely unusual but he’s doing alright.
My sister has cold urticaria, as well as asthma, she gets hives when the it gets colder than 10°C. She does not develop lesions, she just breaks out in hives and when she’s warmed up it’s like it never happened. There has been one instance where she said her throat felt weird so she’s got an epipen in case of emergency. People usually don’t believe her. My mother had to rip the principle a new one for a teacher dismissing it and sending her out for recess anyway. She’s on medication now and the symptoms are much less than before.
She’s also had a general allergy test done and reacted to nearly everything they tested, animal, tree, grass… the one that she didn’t react to was cockroaches. I thought that was funny, everything but cockroaches.
Ah yes! Everyday I'm patiently waiting for a new Brew upload. Finally he's back with more coffee and knowledge! Honestly if you were my teacher during high school. My school would be much more entertaining. (Aside from the bullies) Your videos are really enjoyable to watch.
MY GOD, I HAVE THIS SAME DISORDER BUT OPPOSITE, WITH HOT TEMPERATURE!! The only thing that works for me is taking Claritin daily but that doesn’t stop it completely. If I’m doing something strenuous or working or moving in a hot environment, I get hives around my neck, chest, back. It itches and if it gets worse it actually hurts, kinda like pinpricks or like I’m getting stung by something. I don’t sweat at first. First I’ll start getting hives and itching. If I stop what I’m doing for a little bit, then I’ll start to sweat. I also have pretty bad allergies, and recently found out I’m allergic to honeydew melon as well, weirdly enough. It has a protein similar to the allergen causing protein in ragweed.
Went to the allergist because I’ve been “allergic” to beach water since I was kid (would break into hives after a day at the beach ). He told me it had to do with the cold water and not the actual salt . But I can take cold showers just fine
ME TOO! I’m severely allergic to beach water and nobody knows why.
I’m completely fine in the cold, and cold water.
There's lots of animal waste and runoff waste in the ocean water, not surprising at all
It's crazy finally hearing stuff about kinds of urticaria, I have a form of it which is induced by a multitude of things ranging from embarrassment to exercise, But luckily I don't suffer from any kind of shock or heavy side effects other than hives for a few minutes.
wow, i might ask my doctor about this. i get really itchy after coming inside from the cold and i've gotten a massive raised welt on my arm just carrying milk in the store.i also have a harder time breathing in the winter, but not to an extreme. wearing masks the past few years has actually really helped avoid that.
Brew bringing me my daily dose of anxiety.
Thank you, this really helped my irrational fear of superheated water suddenly coming out of the showerhead.
What you shouldn’t do according to Brew:
Sit down
Chew your nails
Sleep
Use a Christmas tree
Eat
Take a shower
Breathe
Blink
Live
*_lol_*
I think i had light type of this issue in the past. But my body got used to the harsh switch from hot/cold/hot during canada winter rather quickly and had no more problem. However i can still feel very itchy if i stay for a few minutes outside in the cold winter then go back in as my body is starting to heat up for the cold but i'm back inside and then i start overheating instead . _.
Commenting before I really get into the video, but I have a rare allergy to water. Literally. My brother is allergic to the heat. Mine is called aquagenic urticaria. Anytime I shower, cry, sweat, get caught in the rain, etc. I develop painful itchy hives in the affected area of my skin
*new fear unlocked*
I have this!! It took about 1.5 years to figure out what was causing my hives. Especially because I lived in Texas. What people don’t realize is how, even though Texas (and Alabama where I live now) is super hot, the INSIDE is kept cold, as well as a whole lot of cold surfaces, and the wind. I have to be diligent about taking antihistamines every day or else I break out in awful painful hives all over my body. Once I was boating and I fell into the lake and from the cold and wind I was probably 85-90% covered in hives. It was excruciating and we almost went to the er for epi.

I have heat-induced urticaria. I gotta say it’s really annoying. I’m an active guy, go to the gym, etc. and yesterday I decided to go to the supermarket by foot. I started by running and eventually the itchiness started when I got close. I forced myself not to itch, at least until I arrived at the store. It became absolutely unbearable, to the point where I could feel my legs literally burn. I sat on a bench outside and dig my nails on my legs. It was so bad that it took me around 5-10 seconds to feel my nails.
Dang
watching this while eating icecream
I know this isn't a case of a water allergy, but I developed a water allergy in 2018. I was happy to see Xolair listed as a helpful medication on this video. Even though it is an asthma medication, it does wonders in keeping my histamines from going into overdrive from Mast Cell activation syndrome (or MCAS). Other over the counter antihistamine medicine can really help with the rashes and itchiness, so I can definitely see them helping in a case like this :)

at 4:17 there's a mistake in the graphic or script; Brew says ".05%" but the graphic says ".5%"
"DiagNOstic test." >.>
I know two people with this. One was a girl who was from Iran, she would break out into hives during the winter here in the midwest. It was to the point where people used to think she was being abused bc she would show up with red marks on her skin. except it was just from her traveling between home and school and such since she'd walk and it was pretty mild. She also couldn't have cold drinks too. The other person I knew lived in Alberta canada, and had such a bad allergy to cold that even when it was like 70 degrees she had to wear a hoodie because she'd break out in a rash.
Another reason too be scared at night
you sleep in the shower?
@@plsdonatecounting Who deosn't
@@plsdonatecounting no I shower at midnight
It's cellular mutiny! The body always prioritizes the torso when the fingies and noses are bit by cold. Inflammation will get some blood back home to the rural tissues.
Bro I’m literally about to go take a shower and I see this
same
i’ve always get stomachache when the weather is getting cold, and i live in a tropical country so the coldest is usually only when it rains. i’ve tried to do my own research about this and never found anything other than this very similar thing happens to horses, but none to human. does anyone elses have this condition too?
The reason why gamers don’t shower
I cant imagine having an allergic reaction to the cold, that sucks, glad it was cureable though, I love the cold too much for that.
I’ve noticed Brew always makes a closing pun to end the episode, ha ha
This is what happens everyone when you play genshin for too long
Good thing to watch just before taking a shower 😂❤

I have the opposite, everytime I sweat or it's hot outside I get some rashes and it hurts a lot.
