A member asked:
Can people be allergic to their own sweat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Individuals with cholinergic urticaria. Hives come about because of stimulation of sweating induced by a rise in body temperature, usually from exercise or emotional stress, and occasionally with sour or peppery foods or alcohol. Some patients when skin tested with their own sweat have a positive skin test. For the article, go to: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/7520273.
