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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I have a rash all over my face because yesterday my boyfriend broke up with me. Apparently, I am allergic to the something in the tissues with which I was blowing my nose and wiping away my tears. FML
Today, I woke up with a giant red rash all over my face, so puffed up that I could hardly open my eyes. The doctor said it was probably from some of the compounds found in most makeup. I'm just getting into theatre and have auditions coming up. FML
Today, I was going to bleach my bikini line, as I have not been able to shave there due to some ingrown hairs, and I also have to lifeguard every day. As it turns out, I'm allergic to the bleach. There is now an angry red, burning rash on my crotch that you can see around my swimsuit. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, I discovered that I have developed a latex allergy. I'm a third year medical student. FML
Today, I found out the reason I've been itchy for the last two weeks is because I'm now allergic to chlorine. I'm also a swimming instructor. FML
Today, I used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. FML
Today, after an extremely stressful day, I took a hot bath when I got home. I used my little sister's bubble bath to make it more enjoyable and relaxing. I then broke out in hives. I guess I'm allergic to bubble bath. FML
Today, I was eating out with my partner, and we decided to use the new lube we bought. Things went great until I later realized I was allergic to it and a large red rash spread all across my mouth and chin. It won't go away. FML
Today, I woke up with a rash on my face after just getting over a bad cold. I was told by the doctor that it was a staph infection spread by wearing a face mask. The face mask I wore so people wouldn’t catch the cold from me. FML

See a doctor- this is not an allergy

By making a story like this up? Seriously, there isn't a specific allergy to only salt water and only on your face. Allergies are never that specific.

It may not be an allergy... You may just have incredibly dry skin. My face will turn red and burn when I cry because the salt just dries it out much more.

Pubmed citation or stop talking. Allergy to water would mean allergy to your blood

BULLSHIT. I know this because there's no salt in your tears. Your tears and sweat taste salty because of the enzymes on your face from all the nasty buildup of the day. When you suddenly cry, you're not tasting your salty tears but rather all the dirt that has collected in your pores throughout the day.

You all ******* fail scientifically "Aquagenic Urticaria" look it up. I am no Dr but I would go see one if I were you. I don't think you have Aquagenic Urticaria but it is possible and it is also possible that your skin may be sensitive to something secreted by your tears. L2use wikipedia people.
