  1. Phoenix - since the body is highly composed of water, the answer is no. if it were and one were allergic, they would die instantly since newborns have little to no immune system

  2. Michaela - Believe it or not but it IS possible to be allergic to water. There are two conditions: aquagenic urticaria and aquagenic pruritus both of which have reactions when water is consumed or water to skin contact

  3. Helper Monkey - Yes it is. My friend and his daughter both had a skin allergy to water. Neither of them could take showers or bathes. They were prescribed something from the Doctor that was essentially a dry cleaning powder to rub on their skin for personal hygiene.

    To me, an existence like that would be a fate crueler than death.

  4. Allie - Well, No because nothing can live without Water, its what most of our bodies are made up of and if we were allergic to it we couldnt survive. water is in everything. And if you cant have water then you cant have anything, milk is made up part of the body and part water and juices you wouldnt be able to have because fruit and veggies hold water in them and that water gets flavoring of what ever its in. So the answer is no. :)
