Water

For most of us, water is the most harmless substance around, but come and see that people are actually allergic to it. Unfortunately, a proper treatment for this kind of allergy has not been found yet, and these people still suffer when taking shower or swimming. The cause of this allergy is the rare condition of aquagenic urticaria, when water of any temperature causes pain ad hives to the skin. 

Exercise

Exercise-induced anaphylaxis and urticaria or the allergy to exercise at first sight seems somehow pleasant, as you don’t have to go to the gym. But it is not like that, as this allergy may become a reason for serious gastrointestinal problems, and even may threaten to your life. 

Sex

The condition called human seminal plasma hypersensitivity is the reason of adverse physical reaction to a man’s seminal fluid which carries sperm.The symptoms of this weird allergy include hives, trouble with breathing, swelling.  Of course, they use condoms, but a thorough treatment is not available yet.

These people experience a plethora of physical ailments, including migraines, rashes and chest pains when they are near to any electromagnetic field.
