The little girl suffers from a strange disease!
Little Ivy Angerman lives in Minnesota and is only 18 months old and cannot cry, sweat, or bathe as her own tears hurt her. She suffers from a strange disease called aquagenic urticaria.
Aquagenic urticaria is a rare disease that affects patients when water touches their skin, in any shape or temperature.
Ivy was diagnosed in October last year with this condition after her mom noticed that something strange was happening to her skin when it came into contact with water. It gave him uncontrollable itching and a very severe allergy that lasted between 15 minutes and an hour.
Now her parents must protect her from her own tears, from sweat, from bathing, swimming in a pool, from even light rain and of course from the snow. Her mother, Brittany Angerman, says that when she is bathed she screams as if we are torturing her and it feels like a severe third-degree burn. That is why they bathe her only twice a week and with a damp cloth only.
To be able to withstand and mitigate her attacks, the girl must take antihistamines, although their effect is not immediate and more and more she becomes immune to these medications. But what they fear the most is that this also becomes internal and can not even drink water.
