So Kat, that's fascinating! How does a cold allergy manifest? I'm assuming it's *not* itchy, watery eyes.
It's a contact allergy, primarily. So like, I can't grip cold objects for long. My fingers swell up and get itchy. One time my thumb swelled up so badly that my nail sliced into it.
I can't be out in the cold with my ears exposed, they get really, really itchy....
I've never experienced it, but when I was researching the condition I saw reports of people who have it so bad that eating or drinking something too cold caused the itching and swelling in their esophagus. I have to take allergy meds every day to prevent reactions.
That is wild. Cold is so often used to reduce inflammation, that people can have the opposite reaction is just crazy.

That's quite something....
Does not sound like fun.
Yeah. I developed this particular allergy about 5 years ago. Took me a long time to figure out why my hands got itchy when I was driving in the winter.
