A member asked:
Is it possible to get hives from sea salt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There have been a small group of people who have developed hives on contact with seawater or cold temperatures. Antihistamines can be used to prevent hives or to decrease symptoms in many cases. In a few extreme cases, exposure must be avoided altogether to avoid developing anaphylaxis.
