Today, I discovered that I have developed an allergy to salt water on my face. Now, every time I sweat or cry, I come up in a bright red rash. I am allergic to my own bodily fluids. FML

Can I cum on your face then ?

To /develop/ an allergy, you need overexposure to saltwater. Stop trying to drown yourself in saltwater.

ive never heard of being allergic to salt water, but i know there is a WATER allergy... yea don't know why it would only be on ur face, but i guess if it's possible to be allergic to water it's possible to only get site specific allergic reactions...i know i have a sun allergy that only appears on my chest...weird.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1172102/Mothers-allergy-water-means-drink-bathe-wipe-away-sons-tears.html

Sodium isn't necessarily salt. Sodium Chloride (I believe) is salt.

sodium chloride is TABLE salt. There is more then one type of salt.

I find this one believable, simply because not all skin is created equal. For instance, if you use Nair depilatory cream, it tells you specifically not to use it on privates, FACE, or breasts, because the skin in those places is extra sensitive. You don't need overexposure to things to develop allergies; often they develop later in life because of UNDERexposure. Perhaps they're not really much of a crier and had never been to the ocean. Or maybe crying simply never produced enough to irritate them before their first visit to the ocean. It's probably more specifically a reaction to the salt than the water. Ever been swimming right after shaving? It can cause intense irritation, burning, and itching. The face is much more sensitive than the legs; it is illogical to rule out the possibility simply because you've never heard of or experienced a certain condition.

It could be your face wash! That happened to me... It was not fun. However, I looked into it and found out it was the specific face wash I was using.
