Jeffrey Benabio: “The allergy is a rare condition called aquagenic urticaria. People who have it develop intensely itchy, even painful hives when their skin comes into contact with water. The itchy wheals or hives develop within minutes of exposure and can persist for hours afterward.”

In our current culture, if health care resources are considered scarce, this information should be censored and given “top secret” status.
Wait until the lawyers try to devise a warning label, or the first city/public water source is sued.
Maybe that’s what the Wicked witch of the West had….
This is the same reaction that some people have to fluoridated water.
I doubt people can be allergic to pure, filtered, distilled H2O.
They are probably allergic to or sensitive to some water additives such as fluoride or chlorine.
Do you see how important it is to oppose water fluoridation. If not for yourself than for others.
Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth. It’s not added to purify the water; but in a failed attempt to reduce toot decay.
