Yes, you really can be allergic to the cold

We’re constantly hearing about people being allergic to things like peanuts and shellfish, but how often do we learn that someone is allergic to cold temperatures?

Nope, we’re not making that up. HLN says it’s a real allergy.

‘People who have this apparently get itchy hives when they’re in the cold and they even swell up just drinking something cold, like iced coffee.’

The allergy is known as cold urticaria, and the Mayo Clinic says people with the condition can experience hives, swelling of the limbs, and even have their throats close up when their skin is exposed to temperatures lower than 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
