Yes actually, Grant a boy turning 12 soon is literally allergic to cold. It makes him brake out into hives and can cause him to go into a serious reaction. Just going outside in the cold can be a risk for him as well as swimming in really cold water, drinking a really cold drank, and more. Grant has to get 2 antihistamine shots. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester calls it the cold urticaria. Researchers dont know exactly how people inherit urticaria but have found 27 people of 3 families that have the genetic mutation and other mixed unknown abmoralities and disorders.In one case one Dr found a child who went to go swimming on a hot day in cold water and when they came out ended up having permanent brain damage. In this article it tells evryone a life threatining thing that not many people have and others should know about and can change the wrld. For me I think this article made me become stunned how severe this allergy can become and what it can do to you if your in it or neer it. Therefore I loved this article.
