- I am Kylie, and I have Aquagenic Urticaria, which is an allergy to water. The minute it touches my skin, it blisters. Water is like acid as it touches me. I can drink water. However, I always wondered what it would be like to touch the ocean and feel the waves splash up on my body, to wear a bikini and not feel threatened to go into the water, or to enjoy a walk in the rain and kiss a cute guy like I have seen in The Notebook. That’s a dream I have that will never come true.
